Description: Creator unknown. Black & white photo held by the South Australia Museum records. The turtle shell was engraved by the 18 survivors of the SS Gothenburg who managed to reach Holbourne Island on two lifeboats in February 1875. It is believed, although not certain, that the photograph was taken by the Adelaide School of Photography in July 1875. Free of copyright restriction. The actual turtle shell was presented to the South Australia Museum in 1932 by Mr W.D. Cleland, brother of John Cleland, one of the survivors.
