Historical information

The earthquake occurred at 8:35pm on 19 September 1902, its magnitude 6.0. The epicentre is now thought to have been in Gulf St Vincent. Most buildings in Warooka were damaged, the lanterns of Troubridge Lighthouse were destroyed, the spilt oil setting fire to the woodwork of the building. There was also damage across the Gulf at Clarendon, south of Adelaide. (Information supplied by a researcher).
