Description:
Colonial lithograph of S.S. Orizaba which was wrecked at Rockingham, Western Australia.
She was a mail steamer wrecked off Rockingham, Western Australia on 16 February 1905. On her approach to Fremantle, a smog of bushfire smoke was obscuring the coast and the captain lost his bearings. The ship went aground in 6.1 metres (20 ft) of water on Five Fathom Bank, west of Garden Island. All 160 people on board were evacuated safely. It is one of the largest ships ever to be wrecked in Australian waters
Artist:
Andrew Maclure and Archibald Gray MacDonald set up business as engravers and lithographic printers in 1835. Their first premises were in Trongate but by 1851 they had moved to 57 Buchanan Street, and later relocated to a 5-storey purpose-built facility. The company became Printers to the Queen They invented a power-driven lithographic printing press in 1853.
