Its remnant hull, which lies in a ships' graveyard in South Australia, was considered 'the oldest intact iron hull sailing vessel in the world',[2] until part of the central section collapsed in January 2023.

[5] On 21 December 1907, she was used by Adelaide Steamtug Company in association with other vessels to recover the steamer Jessie Darling, which had collided with and sunk on top of the unmarked wreck of the barque Norma on 21 April 1907.

Norma had been sunk after a collision with the ship Ardencraig, several hours earlier at the Semaphore Anchorage.

On 19 August 1945, she was towed to the eastern extent of the Port River's North Arm, and became the last vessel to be abandoned in what is now known as the Garden Island Ships' Graveyard.

[8] She has been the subject of study by various parties including the Society for Underwater Historical Research in 1978 and by the Department of Environment and Heritage on an ongoing basis since 1981,[9][10] and more recently by Flinders University in conjunction with the South Australian Maritime Museum.
