TSS Kanowna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twin screw steamer TSS Kanowna was a 126-metre-long, 7105-tonne passenger ship which sank off Wilsons Promontory, Australia on the morning of February 29, 1929. All 141 passengers abandoned the ship, and were rescued by the nearby SS Mackarra.
TSS Kanowna was originally used as a hospital ship to move wounded soldiers from Gallipoli.
In 2005, the shipwreck of TSS Kanowna, one of Victoria's largest shipwrecks, was found in Bass Strait. [1]
