PS George Rennie

PS George Rennie was a steel-hulled ship scuttled in the lee of Hawking Point, Magnetic Island, Queensland, Australia.

In 1896 the vessel was purchased by Howard Smith and Company who converted it into a lighter.

Howard Smith and Company used the vessel to transport coal[1] from the anchorage at West Point to Townsville harbour.

It was scuttled in 1902 to serve as a breakwater for a small jetty in the bay.

The remains of the ship can still be seen at low tide from Picnic Bay beach.
