If not for the tonnage of the gormless crew...this good ship was spotted going
down to the Locker on New Year's Eve.
It will soon be added to this Wikipedia list of shipwrecks around Rottnest.
'This same Davy Jones, according to sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes:, ship-wrecks, and other disasters to which sea-faring life is exposed, warning the devoted wretch of death and woe.' (Tobias Smollett, The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle)
Sail across to the mainland to also see this frightening image being given The Worst of Perth treatment.
Many thanks to Stephen N. for the photo.
