Description
Lady Elizabeth, built in 1875, was an iron barque Sunderland. On 4 December 1912, Lady Elizabeth left Vancouver bound for Delagoa Bay Mozambique, with a shipment of lumber and encountered severe weather halfway through the voyage. She was damaged just off Cape Horn. On the way to the nearest port for repair, she struck Uranie Rock just off Volunteer Point and began to sink. Even though she made it to Port Stanley, she was condemned after being examined and moored in Stanley Harbour to be used as a coal hulk. In 1936, during a strong gale, she broke from her mooring and drifted down the harbour to Whalebone Cove where she ran aground and still rests today.
