Many people would have seen large loads navigating there way through the tight battery point roads - these trucks were delivery Cartela’s Cradle!

This is an incredible milestone for the Cartela, and her journey to restoration.

Please keep clear of the slipway - this is an active work site.

We will be posting lots of photos of today’s operation for all to browse!

The large 310 ton Spotted Gum, Iron Bark, and Oregon passenger & cargo ship, built in 1916, was on route to King Island from Launceston when she struck rocks in the channel known as “Hells Gates”.

The Captain, J.P Neilson, chose to beach the vessel at Woolnorth point and the wreck was declared unsalvageable.

The Cargo was Cattle. “most” of them were safely unloaded.

The ship being only 16 years old at her demise, was built by Morrison & Sinclair Ltd in Sydney.
