The company’s ships landed at Kangaroo Island in July 1836, but the settlers found the land too harsh, so almost all moved on to Adelaide.
In 1920, the company sold my half-acre block in central Kingscote to the Northcott family of Nuriootpa.

Time bombs are ticking on the world’s sea beds. During World War II, 6,300 vessels were sent to the bottom. For years, they have been rusting beneath the waves and leaking toxic oil into the oceans. The biggest oil spill in history is imminent.
Experts estimate that the wrecks could hold up to 15 million tons of fuel, posing a threat to both holidaymakers and wildlife.

Some more of the shipwrecks the Skeleton Coast is famous for. Just imagine crashing your ship at the coast just to find out that now you're stuck in a desert...

…
The pet cat of the Wiltshire, which was left on board the stricken vessel until rescued by the tug Te Awhina … is now a pampered resident at the Auckland Sailors’ Home.… The crew, who had given up hope of seeing it again, were delighted when the cat arrived, and paid it all the attention that might be expected to the last survivor of a doomed ship.…
