The Ulidia was wrecked on Stragglers Rocks on 18 May 1893 after a cable snapped. The 91.4 metre iron schooner was under the command of Captain McAdam on a voyage from Garden Island to Newcastle NSW. It had been built at Stockton on Tees, Durham Scotland, in 1889 by Richardson, Duck & Co and was registered in Belfast. The owners were P. Iredale and Porter Ltd, the latter of which included Alexander Forrest and Messrs Stansmore, Renou and Glynn. The vessel was carrying a cargo of sand for ballast. The ship’s bell, inscribed with ‘Ulidia, Belfast’, has been salvaged from the wreck site. Latitude 32˚03.4600 Longitude 115˚37.7300
