Alex T. Brown - Shipwreck - Perth, Australia in 4k

One of Perth's best-kept secrets. My adventure to check out the shipwreck, the Alex T. Brown before it's gone... "Alex T. Brown was a 788-ton, wooden 4-masted wooden schooner built by the Globe Construction Co. in Ballard, Puget Sound, Washington, USA. Owned by the Pat Beakely Mill Co., USA and bound from Fremantle to Manila in ballast under Master Walter H. Meyers (or Myers), the schooner was blown ashore north of Perth during a gale about midnight on 29th May 1917. The tug Wyola was dispatched to attempt to tow Alex T. Brown off the beach but could not approach close enough to assist, and despite numerous attempts by the captain and crew the Alex T. Brown was unable to be refloated." - source: Western Australian Maritime Museum http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/maritime-archaeology-db/wrecks/alex-t-brown
