The Maheno is a ship wreck on Fraser Island
-
The “Maheno Wreck” is situated on Fraser Island’s ocean side, approximately 64 kilometres from Hook Point, the southern most tip of the island. In 1935, this once luxury ex-Trans Tasman liner, was being towed to Japan for scrap when her towrope snapped during a cyclone. The ship was driven ashore by the strong winds and has remained there ever since.

The S.S. Maheno was originally built in 1905 in Scotland as a luxury passenger ship for trans-Tasman crossings. During the First World War the ship served as a hospital ship in the English Channel, before returning to a luxury liner. In 1935, the ship was declared outdated and on June 25th, 1935 the ship was being towed from Melbourne to Japan for scrap metal when it was caught in a strong cyclone. A few days later, on July 9th 1935 she drifted ashore and was beached on Fraser Island. During the Second World War the Maheno served as target bombing practice for the RAAF. The ship has since become severely rusted, with almost three and a half decks buried under the sand.

The Maheno Shipwreck at Fraser Island. Built in 1905 as a luxury passenger steam ship. She held the Sydney to Wellington speed record and powered through the waves at a ripping 16 knots. After 9 years she was refitted and was enlisted in the Navy as a hospital ship for service in the First World War. Some 25,000 sick, wounded and dying soldiers were valiantly transported and cared for as she traversed the English Channel over the five years of her military service. After the war, she was returned to her former glory as a luxury liner, and made six New Zealand to England voyages. But the advent of internal combustion engines, ironically improved by the war, lead to her demise as newer, faster and cleaner vessels took to the high seas, leaving the Maheno in their wake. Out dated, and out classed, she was decommissioned in 1935, and sold to a Japanese firm for scrap. It was on that final voyage that things went wrong, and she found her way to Fraser Island. En route to Japan, in cyclonic conditions her tow rope broke and she came to grief on the eastern beach of Fraser Island. That was back in 1935. So she came to rest on the beach of the world’s largest sand island. Source & more: http://www.abc.net.au/widebay/stories/s877712.htm

What else should I call it…If you have been to Fraser Island you have also seen this wreck. The challenge for me were the king tides. / High Tide was at 9am but even before sunrise at 5am the tides were coming in so strong that I had to leave before sunrise. Otherwise I would have been stuck here (but safe) for many hours. / You are not supposed to camp 500m either side of the wreck…well, I didn’t camp. Just had a power sleep in the car as I really wanted to capture the wreck at night and then at dawn. And guess what…I was the only one…haha, no tourists
