IC21905
The Maheno was built in Scotland in 1904 and was the world’s first ever triple screw steamer, weighing a massive 5323 tonnes. It was purchased by a Sydney shipping company who planned to use it between Sydney and New Zealand. It was on this journey that the Maheno was hit by an unseasonal cyclone off the coast of Fraser.
