The Shipwreck Coast of Victoria, Australia stretches from to Cape Otway to Port Fairy, a distance of approximately 130 km. This coastline is accessible via the Great Ocean Road, and is home to the limestone formations called The Twelve Apostles. Explorer Matthew Flinders said of the Shipwreck Coast, "I have seldom seen a more fearful section of coastline." There are approximately 638 known shipwrecks along Victoria’s coast,although only around 240 of them have been discovered. The Historic Shipwreck Trail along the Shipwreck Coast and the Discovery Coast shows some of the sites where gales, human error and, in some cases, foul play caused these vessels to be wrecked.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/ShipwreckTrail.pdf )〕 Ships wrecked on the Shipwreck Coast include: * Unnamed whaleboat (1836) * ''Thistle'' (1837) * ''Children''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-Children.pdf )〕 (1839) * Unknown French whaler (1841) * ''Lydia'' (1843) * ''Socrates'' (1843) * ''Enterprise'' (1850) * ''Essington'' (1852) * ''Freedom'' (1853) * SS ''Schomberg'' (built Liverpool, named after Charles Frederick Schomberg, sunk 1855) * ''John Scott'' (1858) * ''Golden Spring'' (1863) * ''Marie Gabrielle'' (1869) * ''Young Australian'' (1877) * ''Loch Ard'' (1878) * ''Napier'' (1878) * ''Alexandra'' (1882) * ''Yarra'' (1882) * ''Edinburgh Castle'' (1888) * ''Fiji''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-Fiji.pdf )〕 (1891) * ''Newfield'' (1892) * ''Freetrader'' (1894) * ''La Bella''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-LaBella.pdf )〕 (1905) * ''Falls of Halladale'' (1908) * ''The Speculant''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-Speculant.pdf )〕 (1911) * ''Antares''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-Antares.pdf )〕 (1914) * ''Casino''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-SSCasino.pdf )〕 (1932) * ''City of Rayville''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flagstaffhill.com/media/uploads/Wrecks-CityOfRayville.pdf )〕 (1940) Over 50 shipwrecks are commemorated in a Historic Shipwreck Trail beginning at Port Fairy. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shipwreck Coast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
