She ran aground at night right in front of the Green Point lighthouse. The photo shows her already broken in two pieces.

Pity, she was a smart looking ship in her day.

Amongst her assorted cargo was a consignment of Hillman Imp motor cars from the factory in Linwood, in 'knocked-down' form for assembly in South Africa. Although the insurance paid out, the South African agents Stanley Motors never re-ordered. So that was the end of S.A.-assembled Imps. Another pity.
