At the end of the runway you can see the wreck of the SS Lady Elizabeth, a British 1208 ton iron barque built in Sunderland in 1879. Arrived at Stanley March 13th 1913 with lumber from Vancouver to Delegoa Bay, struck the Uranie Rock and proved to be too costly to repair, beached in Whalebone Bay. It is the best preserved wreck in the Falklands.
