Summary

Figurehead from the ship "Glenpark" near Coffin Bay. The figurehead stood for many years in front of the old Mortlock Homestead. The people standing by the figurehead may be the Mortlock family. The "Glenpark" was built at Glasgow in 1897 and was wrecked near Wedge Island in February 1901. Mortlock moved the retrieved red haired, green jacketed figurehead from Tumby Bay and displayed it in front of his house at Coffin Bay for many years. Later it was moved to the South Australian Maritime Museum
