The abandoned wrecks of the Garden Island Ships' Graveyard near Port Adelaide represent a collection of crafts that plied South Australian waters in an era when the maritime industry dominated transport, trade and employment. From 1909-1945 the North Arm of the Port Adelaide River became the final destination for many vessels which had outlived their usefulness. The trail offers canoeists and small boat enthusiasts a chance to cruise the shallow waters around Garden Island and discover the final resting place of 25 wrecks - a varied group of dredges, barges, pontoons and ferries as well as sailing ships and steamers. The Garden Island Ships' Graveyard Maritime Trail includes six interpretive signs: two at Garden Island, and three on piles adjacent to the main group of five wrecks.
