"Hougomont"
The Hougomont and the Herzogin Cecilie (wheat ships) at the Semaphore anchorage December 1932 or January 1933) The Hougomont has been badly battered in a storm and is being dismantled prior to being towed to Stenhouse Bay, there to be used as a breakwater. A clipping from the Chronicle January 5, 1933 reads "Making the tow in favourable weather, the barque Hougomont reached Stenhouse Bay at daylight on Sunday having made the 84 mile trip in 13.5 hours. The vessel was manoeuvred into the position where she will be used as a breakwater. A charge of dynamite was exploded in the forehold and the ship slowly sank until only the decks and rails were above the water. Leaving Semaphore on Saturday afternoon in tow of the Wato, the Hougomont made her last trip, which was a model one. She rode the seas like a liner, and never faltered. At Stenhouse Bay difficulty was experienced in mooring her. About 11 am a terrific exposion shook her, and the Hougomont's end had come. Captain Lindholm who was the last of the crew to leave her, said 'sinking her is the saddest job of my life'. The Wato left on the return journey late this afternoon."
