Summary

Memory Cove near Port Lincoln. In 1802 Captain Matthew Flinders lost eight members of his crew from HM Sloop "Investigator" while looking for fresh water. He named the headland "Cape Catastrophe" and the cove "Memory Cove". The plaque he left was one of the first memorials left by Europeans in South Australia.
