About Eliza Ramsden, wreck
Eliza Ramsden is a historic Port Phillip Bay shipwreck near Point Nepean, the remains of a three-masted iron barque that struck Corsair Rock in 1875 and settled in the South Channel. Today it is a boat-accessed wreck dive with a readable hull profile, established marine life and a strong local boating rhythm, but it needs the right slack-water window because the channel sits inside active port waters.
