Summary

A ship identified by Searcy as the SS 'Ferret' ashore at Reef Head, South Australia, where it was wrecked on 14 November 1920. According to a researcher, the close ship is the barque 'Ethel', which ran aground in 1904. This would make the wreck further out the 'Ferret', which was wrecked in 1920, but had been used in an unsuccessful attempt to refloat the 'Ethel' in 1904.
