The White Pine was 51M long and 9M wide, it was originally a 3 mast steel sailing ship built in Scotland in 1879 and was sold in 1895 and registered at the Hazel Craig in 1905, operating between Australia and New Zealand.
She was purchased by the Melbourne Harbor Trust in 1916 and then converted into a coal lighter and named the White Pine. Later she was converted into a coal hulk.
She was scuttled on Jan 14, 1947.
Today it sits in around 53M of water and provides a lovely wreck dive with an abundance of local fish and is covered with yellow zonathids.
