beachcomber australia From your earlier comment: "The wreck happened on 06/05/1898. Report in the SMH 07/05/1898 p.9 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14132900 . The ship was stuck there for months." Randwick City Council also have a page on their website about HEREWARD and how long it remained on the beach: bit.ly/Orrp7T A long time!

beachcomber australia How fascinating! Great pictures :) I guess Randwick Council will have to update their entry, esp the bit that says previous work has 'removed all trace of the HEREWARD'!

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons This is weird! I saw a short report on Channel 9 NBN News on Tuesday 27/3/13 about retrieving the cannon, but I can't find anything recent on the entire interweb about it. Googled using various combinations of "hereward cannon wreck maroubra " ?? A dive video in 2011 - vimeo.com/25710306
