Not all ' ship ' voyages were " happy ended " .
Check SS YONGALA 1911 ( see Wikipedia ) .
The story I heard was ,
The southerly storm chased her up to " cape Bowling Green " , (were they were to take shelter ), they readied the anchor , but it slipped overboard, gripped the floor & pulled the ship under . All were lost and only a dead ' horse ' was recovered .
Now a great dive site .
