Hougomont, Four-masted barque in Stenhouse Bay, Australia.
The Hougomont steel barque stretched 292 feet long with four masts, designed for both cargo transport and sailor training in ocean waters.
Built in Greenock, Scotland in 1897, the vessel served under Gustav Erikson's shipping company from 1924 until a storm dismasted her in 1932.
The vessel connected multiple ports across continents, facilitating trade between Peru, Florida, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, and Sweden.
The wreck lies 9 meters underwater at Stenhouse Bay, with portions of stern and prow remaining visible above the water line.
During a 1903 journey to Liverpool, the ship ran aground at Allonby while carrying 32,000 cases of tinned pears in its cargo hold.
