Cataraqui (ship)
The ''Cataraqui'' (also called the ''Cataraque''〔British accounts of the wreck usually refer to the ship as the ''Cataraque'' which is more consistent with the pronunciation of the original Canadian name. However, Australian references such as the point on King Island named after the ship spell the name ''Cataraqui'', which is also consistent with ''Lloyd's Register of Shipping''.〕) was a British barque which sank off the south-west coast of King Island in Bass Strait on 4 August 1845. The sinking was Australia's worst ever maritime civil disaster incident, claiming the lives of 400 people.
==Construction and technical details==
The ''Cataraqui'' was an 802 ton〔''Lloyd's Register of Shipping'' for 1845 states the ''Cataraqui'' was 802 tons New Measurement according to the formula used to calculate ships' tonnages established from 1 January 1836 and 712 tons on the system previously used (''Old Measurement''). They are based on estimates of the cubic capacity of the hull and not directly related to its weight.〕 barque, of dimensions 138 × 30 × 22 feet (42 × 9 × 7 metres). The ship was built in Quebec, Canada in 1840 by the shipwrights Williams Lampson. The name ''Cataraqui'' comes from the French transliteration of "Katerokwi", the original Mississaugas First Nation name for the area now known as Kingston, Ontario.
