They were sailing from Liverpool to Melbourne in the cargo ship Sierra Nevada
which was wrecked on London Bridge rocks, Portsea Back Beach...9th May 1900...
The ship drifted ashore while waiting for a pilot.
The anchors were let go, but these did not hold.

Sierra Nevada is one of five iron-hulled trading vessels
wrecked in and around Port Phillip between 1883 and 1900.
