There are 3 ships at The Bulwer Wrecks that were scuttled on the beach at Bulwer, Moreton Island by Robert Alexander Gow deliberately for a sheltered area to load and unload his 12 m boat in the early 1930's. The main ship was the Kallatina, a steel steamer of 628 tons which was built at Glasgow in 1890 and bought from the State Government by John Burke Ltd. It was scuttled in 1931. The Hopewell was scuttled in 1930, which is the ship on the right when looking at the ocean. At the back running parallel to the beach is the 716 ton Mt Kembla also scuttled in 1930, it was 180 ft long and built in England in 1885 for Mt Kembla Coal and Oil Company.
They were all scuttled to form a breakwater at Bulwer, Moreton Bay, Queensland, although now the wrecks are rusting away and it is a lot shallower between the wrecks, making it an ideal swimming and snorkelling spot.
Schools of Sergeant Major (Abudefduf saxatilis) inhabit the coral and sponge-covered artificial reef that was once a freighter hauling grain across the Atlantic.
The St. George Wreck is a 262 ft. (80 m) long sunken ship that has been on the bottom since 1999. It is slowly transforming into a living tropical reef; swarming with fish and covered with diverse invertebrate marine life. @ 70 - 144 ft. (21 - 44 m)

Volkswagen Beetle wrecks
The camper van roof is now all that remains of a completely stripped bus. It was surprisingly rust free. So parts of it at least will have made it back on the road. I first saw this bus on a Sunday afternoon last May. By mid July all that was left was the camper roof section which has since moved about 3 yards and is left leaning on a stripped out late model Beetle.
This wreck on Seaton Carew's shoreline shows that, aside from the beach huts and pleasure boats, the sea could be a dangerous place. With only its skeleton remaining, this particular ship appears to have been stuck on the beach a while. Did you know that the wreck of an unknown ship is still visible on the shoreline of Seaton beach?

This boat wreck has been in the estuary near the Maitai River mouth for as long as I can remember. The sign next to it simply warns other vessels, "WARNING: Wreck covered by high tide.", not thats theres much left of it to avoid. It just looks like a huge boot print in the sand from my kite.

Erik and I have developed a knack for spotting a forthcoming train wreck in the sky. There’s a certain lack of craftsmanship in the build that cues us to be ready with the camera…
I just held the motor drive down for this one… I’ll post the frame sequence below.
Eastern front, probably in early 1943. These StuGe III belong to the Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 904 (StuG.Abt. 270).
