Wardang Island Maritime Heritage Trail
Wardang Island is a natural breakwater against the south-westerlies that buffet the western coast of Yorke Peninsula. Until 1909 there was no light on the Island and, because the Island was difficult to see, wreckages were common. The trail includes eight shipwrecks - you can travel to them from Port Victoria, however be sure your boat is prepared adequately for a minimum return voyage of 25 kms. Underwater plaques are adjacent to each wreck, and an underwater guide, containing maps and transits, is available. More information can be found at:
