December 2021 – Unveiling of the Deadwood
What a wonderful way to finish off the year with the ‘Deadwood Unveiling’ finally taking place on the 158th anniversary of the grounding of the Amazon on the Inverloch Surf Beach. The Deadwood is 3.3 metres (11 ft) tall and is quite an imposing relic. It is fixed using the original brass pins (nails) so that there is no attachment to the wood. Most of these brass pins would have been 1.2 metres (4 Ft) in length but have broken off over time.
