The HMAS Cerberus who knew?
aparently the ship has survived all these years as a breakwater since it sinking in 1924!
the old ship laid down in the 1860's served all the way up until it's scrapping (more recently as a storage barge) more info on the site hopefully the aussie govt. can save her! http://www.cerberus.com.au/index.html

That is awesome to see a warship from that era. I hope they keep her intact, it would be quite a tourist attraction.

built in 1860's, amazing if ships could talk, imagine what histories would the Cerberus tell.:hmm:
By the way found a website with some interesting links about the Cerberus http://www.pcmus.com/Dive-Photos/HMAS-Cerberus.htm |
