Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck

About

Lying at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley's most imposing and iconic shipwreck.  Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched ain Sunderland in the UK in 1879 and suffered damage whilst rounding Cape Horn in 1913.  She limped into Stanley for repairs but the high cost prevented any being carried out.  After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place.
