SS Pericles, Steamship wreck near Cape Leeuwin, Australia
The SS Pericles rests 35 meters deep off Western Australia's coast, with its twin engines and frame sections still distinguishable beneath the water.
Built in 1907 by Harland & Wolff in Belfast, the SS Pericles operated between Great Britain and Australia until striking an uncharted rock in 1910.
The Aberdeen Line vessel carried both saloon and third-class passengers, accommodating 100 first-class and 250 third-class travelers on journeys to Australia.
The wreck extends 180 meters in length and 70 meters in width, protected by Australian federal law due to its maritime historical value.
During the 1910 evacuation, all passengers and crew members survived the sinking, with only the ship's cat reported as the sole casualty.
