Location:

Port Gregory

Sinking:

Margetic was attempting to sail out of Port Gregory through the Gold Digger Passage rather than the wider Hero Passage. The wind dropped and as he dropped the anchor, a westerly scud struck the vessel. This combined with the incoming tide drove it onto the reef where it was severely damaged. The Emu sank but Margetic was able to get ashore safely in the dinghy.
