On the 4th February 1893 the SS Dicky was beached by Captain James Beattie to avoid hitting the rocks off Moffat Beach. The Marine Board of Queensland tribunal concluding the Captain showed lack of judgement in not successfully weathering Caloundra Head, for which his licence was suspended for three months.
