SS Clan Ranald (1900)
SS ''Clan Ranald'' was a two decked, turret deck ship, that sank off the rocky coast near Edithburgh in Australia. It is the only turret ship to have been lost in Australian waters, and therefore represents a unique part of Australia's maritime history. The bulk of crew were Asian sailors, or known as lascars. The ''Clan Ranald'' is considered one of the worst shipwrecks in South Australia (SA) where only 24 survived out of the 64 crew members.〔Halls in "Australia's Worst Shipwrecks" pp. 115.〕〔Coroneos & McKinnon in "Shipwrecks of Investigator Strait and the Lower Yorke Peninsula" pp.60.〕
==Description==
SS ''Clan Ranald'' was built in 1900 by Doxford & Sons in Sunderland, UK, as a turret deck ship for the Clan Line Steamers of Glasgow. The ship measured 355 ft in length and had a net tonnage of 2,285 tons. The turret deck ship design was a modern idea for the beginning of the 18th century, as it was considered seaworthy and economical for carrying bulk grain cargoes. The sides of the vessel curve inwards after reaching the widest point, this creates a semi-ledge that sits about midway up the vessel's hull. The purpose of this construction, together with increased stoage capacity, is to make the cargo so compacted that it would have minimal shifting during transportation. However, the main advantage of the design is the cost reduction of port charges.〔Coroneos & McKinnon in "Shipwrecks of Investigator Strait and the Lower Yorke Peninsula" pp.59.〕 Turret ships offer lower tonnage per ton (which could be up to 10%) and that the narrow turret deck enabled a reduction in Suez Canal dues where charges were based on deck width and the net tonnage.〔Coroneos & McKinnon in "Shipwrecks of Investigator Strait and the Lower Yorke Peninsula" pp.59-60.〕
