Abstract
SS Yongala (1911) was a luxury passenger steamer which foundered and sank during a cyclonic event approximately 12 nautical miles from Cape Bowling Green and 45 nautical miles south of Townsville, Queensland, Australia, in what is now a part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Yongala was an early 20th-century interstate coastal steamer which supplies a snapshot of Edwardian life in Australia. The wreck lies structurally intact and is host to an amazing diversity of marine life. The wreck has been listed as a gravesite and a significant historic, archaeological, social, scientific and interpretive site. The degree of significance as determined by the Guidelines for the Management of Australia’s Historic Shipwrecks is assessed as being both “rare and representative.” The shipwreck is also one of Australia’s most popular wreck diving experiences.
