  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!

  Cannon retrieved 26/3/2013 ! The sand covering the wreck was washed away recently. southern-courier.whereilive.com.au/photos/gallery/the-her... Watch this space!

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  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

  The ship was owned by Lundegaard & Sonner, Fatsund and was probably under charter to UK operators. Built 1929, 4251 grt. Sold 1932 to B J Sutherland and renamed Fife. In 1936 sold became Leith Hill, then to Kulukundis (London Greeks) as Mount Aetna and served through WW II under this name. Scrapped Osaka 1959 as John Livanos' Nevada.

  I took photos of this ship wreck in the early 1990's and found remains of Hartlepool Pottery caught inside the ships frame.
