The shipwreck 'Zanoni' is approximately ten nautical miles south east of Ardrossan, and widely acknowledged as one of the most interesting wrecks and the most intact 19th century merchant sailing vessel located in South Australian waters.
The 338-ton barque was built in Liverpool, England, in 1865 and arrived at Port Adelaide on 13 January 1867. Nearly a month later, laden with wheat, she set sail for London, but sank after running into a violent storm. People interested in diving can obtain permits from the Maritime Heritage Branch of the Department for Environment and Heritage.
Declared a Historic Shipwreck under the Historic Shipwreck Act 1981, the Zanoni has a 550-meter Protected Zone surrounding it and a permit is required to enter this zone.
