Many unsuccesful salvage attempts were made after the S.S. Mahino ran a ground on Fraser Island's 75 Mile Beach in 1936.
The Mahino has been pounded by wave after wave for over 70 years. It has stood againt cyclones and King Tides. Every day it sinks a little further under the sand and water and rusts a little more. It is quite a sad feeling, standing there watching it being helplessly battered by the sea day after day.
