King Island, in Bass Strait, has been the site of over 60 shipwrecks and more than 800 lives lost, including the Cataraqui (1845, Australia's worst civil maritime disaster, over 400 dead), the convict ship Neva (1835, 218 lost) and the British Admiral (79 lost). Jack Loney, a prolific self-published maritime historian who wrote over 100 books and booklets across his career, documents these wrecks in this small booklet.
