Loch Vennachar is a dive site located on the southern coastline of Kangaroo Island and features a sailing vessel. This clipper disappeared in 1905, but was not found until 1976 on the rocky bottom under huge cliffs. The anchor and winch are relatively intact, while other parts of the wreck are scattered all over the seabed.
