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!

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
