WRECK of the 'GOTHENBURG' by Allan Mclnnes
26 WRECK OF THE 'GOTHENBURG' by Allan Mclnnes Read to a Meeting of the Society on 25 February, 1982 (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED) In 1862 John McDouaH Stuart made his journey from South Australia pushing his way northwards across the continent. Two years previously A.C. Gregory had probed his way from Port Curtis along the Burdekin and Gilbert Rivers, across the lands bordering the southern waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria and across the base of Arnhem Land. These virgin areas, partly traversed by Stuart and Gregory were then to be had. Logically they did not belong to New South Wales but rather to the neighbouring colonies of South Australia and Queensland. The new colony of Queensland did not seek to acquire them, but South Australia wanted to protect its hinterland and rear flank. In anticipation of a more sensible arrange ment of boundaries, Westminster passed the Australian Colonies Act, 1861 which provided the constitutional machinery for more territory to be detached from New South Wales and annexed to South Australia and Queensland. A satisfactory rearrangement of boundaries was agreed upon, and in 1862 Queensland extended her boundary westward from 141° to 138° and in 1863 the Crown for mally annexed to South Australia the territory now known as the Northern Territory — a huge 523,620 square miles! South Australia was no longer confined to southern Australia — it included a northern portion of Australia which protruded into the middle of the Arafura Sea. The name 'South Australia' thus became inappropriate and the newly annexed area was given the sub-title of 'Northern Territory of South Australia'. -

Elements as old as the cosmos, when combined in a modern recipe, give nuclear en ergy, new at least to Earthlings. The eight-note scale has formed the melodies of Western man by age-old conditioning, yet together wi.th electronics and the poetry of rock, we have our new music. Sailing vessels are regarded as one of man's most lofty achievements. Their interna tional importance to transport and communication has been lost now to nuclear propulsion and electronics, but their importance to individuals continues. Many men are learning that ancient features can be combined into modern vessels. When combined by the hands of one individual builder-owner-man, that man gains a new found freedom to move ahout the earth. There is nothing new about a cutter-rigged yacht, or a retractable center-board. The Eskimo kayak has a 'midships cockpit; so do many classic cruising yachts. -

'Mac' McKenna, of Fremantle, prepare some years ago (published in 'A Review of the past four years involvement in Maritime Archeology and History' produced for the Maritime Archeological Association of Western Australia, Inc.) there does not seem to have been any meaningful record made of vessels discarded around Australia, yet many of those vessels, that had come down from full powered, or fully rigged vessels, to the role of lighter or hulk, had, in many instances, historic associations with some part of country.
