SS Nubeena Wreck.
There is still evidence of the wreck of the Nubeena in 1910. A small coastalsteamer, she left Koonya for Hobart with 25 passengers and 40 head of cattle.The night was very dark, and she missed her way and grounded on Cremorne beach,across Frederick Henry Bay. All hands, passengers and cattle were landedsafely,, and after spending the night on the beach around huge fires, thepassengers walked to Rokeby the next day. The Nubeena remained on the beach,where her boiler, a landmark on the beach for decades, is still visible on thebeach. Some items were salvaged by locals, and John Morrisby at Waterlooobtained a fine Oregon pine floor for his barn, as well as a useful shed, madefrom the Nubeena’s wheelhouse.
