The Bonnie Dundee
Notes
SS Bonnie Dundee was an Australian steamship of 193/121 gross tons, lost on 10 March 1879 after colliding with SS Barrabool off Lake Macquarie, New South Wales. Built by Gourlay Brothers and Company in Dundee, Scotland, she was commissioned by George and Bruce Nicoll of Sydney, Australia for service on the Richmond River, New South Wales. She was launched on 2 March 1877. On the evening of Monday 10 March 1879, while under charter and commanded by Captain John Alexander Stuart, SS Bonnie Dundee was struck by SS Barrabool under Captain John Readman Clark at approximately 8pm. The impact cut her in two and she sank within minutes. Five passengers were killed in the sinking. Barrabool sustained a gash to her port bow above the waterline.
