Since official settlement in 1836, more than 60 shipwrecks have been recorded around kangaroo Island. The stories behind many of these wrecks, such as the Loch Sloy, Loch Vennachar, Osmanli and You Yangs, are both dramatic and tragic. Many, such as the Portland Maru, offer fascinating and rewarding experiences for divers.

A brochure and eight signs comprise the ‘Pages of History Trail’ which uses contemporary newspapers and personal records to recount the stories of seven Kangaroo Island Shipwrecks.
