George Roper (ship)

George Roper was a four-masted barque that launched from Liverpool, England, on 10 February 1883, and, reaching Australia on its maiden voyage, got caught on the reef at Point Lonsdale on 4 July 1883 while being towed into Port Melbourne. It sat there for a little under two months before breaking up and sinking on 26 August.
