The two wrecked vessels near Broad Creek in Barker Inlet

A dodge low tide today helped me to finally find these two wrecked vessels in Barker Inlet, near Broad Creek in the Port River: -

Peter Carter’s site includes photos of these couple of vessels. According to Peter, “The remains of a launch lie on the sandbar to the north of the Broad Creek entrance, and are exposed at low tide (grid reference is 758 464). The remains of another vessel lie close to the mangroves to the east at 764 465, and are also visible only at low tide.”

I am investigating whether one of these two vessels could possibly be that of the cutter Croatia which burnt and sank at its moorings near Torrens Island in 1971.

All of my photos from today's visit to the two vessels can be found at Garden Island 31.12.25
