SS Speke Shipwreck No.1 – by Bernardo Brandao – Limited edition (1 of 10) Giclée prints on archive quality Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
The Speke was the second largest ship-rigged vessel ever built. In February 1906 it ran ashore on Phillip Island as a result of poor navigation by the captain. One man was drowned when one of the lifeboats capsized, but the remainder of the crew reached safety. Although the Speke eventually broke up, it was extensively salvaged.
After battling headwinds on a voyage from Sydney to Melbourne in ballast, the ship Speke was forced ashore east of Kitty Miller’s Bay. A boat was launched but capsized in the heavy surf.
When I went to photograph SS Speke’s shipwreck, I had no idea how the tide would be. I was delightfully surprised how low it was and how close I was able to get to the wreckage while still having some water around it.
