Maheno Shipwreck
Cathedral Beach,
Fraser Island
Would you like to..
The Maheno, the most famous of the Fraser Island wrecks, was driven ashore just north of Happy Valley during a cyclone in 1935. Once a well-known trans-Tasman liner, the Maheno was bound for a Japanese wrecking yard when she met her stormy end. Today the hull lies slowly deteriorating in the harsh salt environment, about 10 kilometres north of Happy Valley.

General Comments
Do not attempt to climb on the Maheno. The ship's structure has been severely weakened by rust and is unsafe climb on.
