The ship that wrecked in Coolangatta in 1846 was the "Catherine." It was a wooden vessel that ran aground during a storm while attempting to navigate the treacherous waters of the area. The wreck is notable as it contributed to the early maritime history of the Gold Coast region in Queensland, Australia. The site of the wreck has since become part of local history and is remembered by the community.
Coolangatta is not an aboriginal word in its purest form.The word is believed to be an Anglicised derivation of an aboriginal word meaning "beautiful place" or "splendid view". In fact, in 1846, a ship named the Coolangatta was wrecked off the coast nearby, and the region was named in honour of this lost ship.
