The Star of Greece was one of over 800 wrecks along the South Australian coastline and is one of South Australia’s most famous shipwrecks. Laden with wheat for a voyage to England, she was wrecked in a violent storm off Port Willunga on the 13th July 1888. Tragically the ship was only 200 metres from shore when it broke in two amidships at 2.00am, and help did not arrive in time to save 18 people who perished in the roaring surf.
A memorial to honour them is at the Aldinga Uniting Church and here at their grave, we step back in time with a dramatic and mesmerising winter’s night vigil in projection art. In this dark tale of the tragedy and its aftermath, we pay our respects to the lost at sea, and to all who have lost their lives in their workplace.
