On the way to Yorke Bay, travellers will see the Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck, a three-masted iron barque built in 1879 in Sunderland, England. Originally used to transport cargo around the world, the vessel later became part of the Falkland Islands’ maritime history. In 1913, she was towed to Stanley Harbour and used as a floating warehouse by the Falkland Islands Company. In 1936, the ship broke free from her moorings during a storm and ran aground, where her remains can still be seen today. Over time, the structure deteriorated, leaving the skeletal hull that has become one of Stanley’s most recognizable landmarks and a reminder of the islands’ strong maritime past.
