History
On 30 January 1860, The Mira Flores foundered and sank after being driven onto Horseshoe Reef off Rottnest Island. She was at the end of a voyage from London to Fremantle carrying general cargo, under the command of Captain Witt. Owned by W. Moach of Germany, the 49.2 metre iron barque had been built by Bowdler, Chaffer and Co in Liverpool in 1867, and was registered in Rostock, Germany. Several cartridges, bullets, timber handles, bottles, a lead ingot marked ‘Babbitt’s Patent’ with a coat of arms, and the anchor, have been salvaged from the wreck site.
