Kind of Ironic eh?
All that steel going back into the district it probably came from. What is the vessel name and its story?

Barge 20 on Eaglehawk
Barge 20 on Eaglehawk Island. Pretty sure it broke its mooring in a cyclone. Been there for a long time.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Cyclone Orson in 1989. It was
Cyclone Orson in 1989. It was moored on the south side of west Lewis Is and broke its mooring in the storm and ended up on Eaglehawk. There was another barge of a similar size that also broke anchorage and ended up on Enderby is. It was refloated and scuttled (sunk) a fair way out to sea. It's also a handy spot if you Travel far enough to fish it!

The smaller the icebox you take, the bigger the fish will be.
