Many vessels tore open their hulls on the rocks at both Point Lonsdale and Point Nepean, and were either wrecked at those locations or foundered inside the Bay as water filled their hulls. Some ships sank as a result of collisions and some ran aground on sandbanks and were subsequently destroyed by storms. Vessels that could not be removed became shipwrecks (also known as “total constructive losses”), while successfully removed vessels were termed 'strandings'. The first documented shipwreck at The Heads occurred in 1840, when the cutter Prince Albert went ashore at Port Phillip Heads. Since then innumerable shipwrecks and strandings have occurred in the area, with the hulks of over 95 wrecks lying within 10 km of The Rip, both inside and outside the Bay. The proximity of the wrecks to the coastline, popular resorts and other essential services has led to a rich historical documentation of these events, along with an extensive collection of images of vessels ashore on shallow reefs at both sides of The Heads (Duncan 2006, p 215).
