05/05/2008: "SHIPWRECK BOILER ..... Seal Rocks"
How exciting is this? An old boiler on the beach. Not the girl, the rusty chunk of metal at Seal Rocks, which is about four hours north of Sydney, by road.
Long assumed to be the remnant of an 1864 paddle steamer called Rainbow which dragged her anchors and went aground. Now another theory has the boiler as having belonged to Trio wreck a few years later in 1870.
The girl is Trina Fleischmann - often seen in Ben Cropp's underwater documentaries on TV around the world.
