The Star of Greece and the giant squid

This is the last trip of the Star of Greece, an iconic figure from the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. The Star of Greece was a three masted, iron cargo ship wrecked in Port Willunga Beach in 1888. A wild storm in these calm waters was to blame for this unfortunate event. However the real cause was a giant squid that is still wondering in the depths of the ocean near the Fleurieu.
