Summary

[General description] The French barque 'General deSonis', stranded near Port Victoria on March 16th, 1913 with a smaller vessel alongside. She was grounded with a full cargo of wheat having dragged her anchors as a result of a severe storm, later refloated. A large quantity of spoiled wheat had to be jettisoned to refloat her and it washed up on the shores of Spencer Gulf for some time after and rotted, creating a nuisance for some time.
