Shipwrecks - SS Casino In 1932 the loss of the SS Casino deeply affected the communities of Apollo Bay and Port Fairy. Built in Scotland in 1882 and powered by steam and sail, the Casino was fast and efficient. Ten lives were lost when the old coastal steamer Casino capsized and sank in sight of the Apollo Bay pier just after 9 o'clock on Sunday morning. Seven members of the crew and the two passengers were saved. Some of the bodies have not yet been recovered. Approaching the Apollo Bay pier in a heavy sea the vessel bumped the sand heavily. Early on January 1, 1937, the 300-foot 'sin ship' – the floating gambling casino Monte Carlo – broke the massive mooring chains that had secured her to the ocean bottom. First the bow chain parted. It is bluestone cairn supporting the Casino's propeller and the town wreck bell. On one side a bronze plaque carries the names of all ten lives lost on the other side is a bronze plaque marking the 100 anniversary of her registration placed in 1982.

Statement of Significance

Ss Casino Wreck Detroit

The SS Casino is historically significant for its vital role in the Western District coastal and passenger trade. This significance is enhanced by the longevity of the Casino's service to this trade - it was wrecked on the eve of celebrating its 50th anniversary. In September 1998 the wreck of the SS Casino and its associated relics were permanently specially declared to be of historic significance. Of the total of eighteen steamships that served the Western District between 1854 and 1939 there are only four of these vessels represented in the Victorian wreck resource: the SS Champion, TSS Coramba, SS Julia Percy (SS Leeuwin) and the SS Casino. The Casino and Champion are the only two of these wrecks that are located in the Western District, and the Casino is the only one of these that has been located and is accessible to divers.
