SS QUETTA
Diver Mathew Connor inspecting the gouge in the starboard plating of the SS QUETTA. The ship struck the Granite outcrop in Adolphus Channel on 28 February 1890 at 9.15 pm as she was heading into Torres Strait at 13 knots. Its momentum dragged & bounced the ship over the rock, tearing the soft iron plating intermittently over 50 metres from the forward hold all the way past the engine room.
The wreck is resting on its port side in 24 metres a kilometre north of the rock.
