Description:
Scarce .19th engraving depicting the recovery of bodies from the wreck of the Lock Ard, at Lock Arch Gorge, Victoria.
The gorge is named after the clipper Loch Ard that was shipwrecked on 1 June 1878 near the end of a three-month journey from England to Melbourne. Of 54 passengers and crew, only two survived: Thomas Pearce, one of the ship’s apprentices; and Eva Carmichael, an Irishwoman emigrating with her family.
