Itata was a three masted iron barque sailing ship built by R & J Evans, Liverpool in 1883. She was severely damaged by a fire in her hold at Newcastle, Australia in 1906.[1] Her hulk was towed to Sydney and was scuttled in Saltpan Creek, Middle Harbour.
Fate

The resultant fire and explosions bowed and twisted her iron hull. Her hulk was towed to Sydney for use as a hulk, however was too badly damaged and was scuttled in Saltpan Creek, Middle Harbour.
