SS Maheno was an ocean liner belonging to the Union Company of New Zealand that operated in the Tasman Sea, crossing between New Zealand and Australia, from 1905 until 1935. She was also used as a Hospital ship by the New Zealand Naval Forces during World War I. She was washed ashore on Fraser Island Queensland Australia by a cyclone in 1935 where the disintegrating wreck remains as a popular tourist attraction.
The ship entered service on 18 November 1905, and was employed on routes between Sydney and Melbourne via ports in New Zealand and Hobart, Tasmania. She also made regular voyages between Sydney and Vancouver. If you would like to learn more......SS Maheno – Wikipedia...
