Steamer SS Dicky was shipwrecked on a Caloundra beach which was named after her. The ship sailed from Rockhampton and as it arrived to clear Caloundra Head it met lashing rain and cyclonic winds that sent the ship on her beam ends. Captain James Beattie was forced to beach the ship to avoid hitting the rocks off Moffat Beach. On 4th February 1893 at 10.35 am the ship grounded stern first on the beach. The wreck is due to removed soon as it is a hazard to swimmers and surfers. Note: The SS Dicky wreck was removed by the Sunshine Coast Council on 30th July 2015. 50mm Canon "Prime Lenses 0916"
