S.S. CASINO
Anchor presented by the Apollo Bay and District Historical Society commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the sinking of the "S.S. Casino".
The loss of the SS Casino was a tragedy for Victoria’s West Coast. For fifty years, the iron steamship took cargo and passengers between Melbourne and Portland, stopping at Apollo Bay, Warrnambool and Port Fairy. Although the ship’s departures and arrivals were seldom punctual, the SS Casino was an important feature of local life.
The SS Casino made 2,500 voyages in the treacherous waters of Bass Strait and was considered one of the "immortals" of Port Phillip. It was involved in several incidents but each time the steamer was repaired and returned to its West Coast run.
On 10th July 1932, the SS Casino sank while trying to secure a mooring at Apollo Bay pier.
This time, the steamer could not be saved and the captain and several crewmen lost their lives.
The wreck of the SS Casino lies beyond the breakers at Apollo Bay and is a popular dive.

Anchor gepresenteerd door de Apollo Bay en District Historical Society herdenkt de vijftigste verjaardag van het zinken van het "S.S. Casino".
Het verlies van het SS Casino was een tragedie voor Victoria's West Coast. Vijftig jaar lang nam het ijzeren stoomschip vracht en passagiers tussen Melbourne en Portland en stopte bij Apollo Bay, Warrnambool en Port Fairy. Hoewel de vertrek- en aankomsttijden van het schip zelden punctueel waren, was het SS Casino een belangrijk kenmerk van het lokale leven.
Het SS Casino maakte 2.500 reizen in de verraderlijke wateren van Bass Strait en werd beschouwd als een van de 'onsterfelijken' van Port Phillip. Het was betrokken bij verschillende incidenten maar elke keer werd de steamer gerepareerd en teruggebracht naar de westkust.
Op 10 juli 1932 stortte het SS Casino in terwijl het probeerde een ligplaats te bemachtigen bij de pier van Apollo Bay.
Deze keer kon de stoomboot niet worden gered en de kapitein en verschillende bemanningsleden verloren hun leven.
Het wrak van het SS Casino ligt achter de branding bij Apollo Bay en is een populaire duik.

A monument commemorates those who lost their lives in the sinking of the S.S. Casino off Apollo Bay in 1932. A plaque was added to the memorial in 1982 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the registration of the vessel and the 50th anniversary of the sinking.
The monument is a pillar of eight courses of bluestone blocks, 2.5 metres high with the propeller of the ship affixed to the west face, and the wreck bell which originally hung in the yard of the Customs House at Port Fairy mounted on the top of the cairn.
Flagship of the Belfast and Koroit Steam Navigation Company based in Port Fairy. The tragic loss of the SS Casino was felt particularly by people of Victoria`s western district.

The SS Casino was an important feature of local maritime life.
The SS Casino made 2,500 voyages in the treacherous waters of Bass Strait and was considered one of the “immortals” of Port Phillip.

Following each incident, the steamer was repaired and returned to its west coast run. On the 10th July, 1932 the SS Casino sank while trying to secure a mooring at Apollo Bay pier.
This time, the steamer could not be saved and the Captain and nine other crew lost their lives.
