Built in 1876, Ethel was a 711-ton, three-masted iron barque, originally launched with the name Carmelo, which ran aground in a storm while en-route from South Africa in 1904. The Ethel wreck is located on the coast in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park on the Yorke Peninsula. SA Dept for the Environment
