Our oldest large military relic
I was out in a helicopter this morning doing a shoot for a client and we flew past the wreck of HMVS Cerberus which was sunk as a breakwater off Black Rock in 1926.
 This is an incredible artifact which has been left to collapse on itself over the years. How important is she? Launched in 1868 she is the last remaining Monitor Class warship in the world. Here's a pic in her heyday.  There's more info here.

Expanding my history
Fantastic shot Keefy,
She definitely was a proud looking ship. Great to see the older photo of what it looked like in its heyday. The turret looks like it took up half of Britains steel. I reckon I'll google it to find out more.

HMVS Cerberus
https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...G+280/1/14/256
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMVS_Cerberus A famous Melbourne landmark this vessel still currently sits at Half Moon Bay . I have seen the remains of this old ship many times during fishing trips to the pier.
