The remains of Louise on the southern side of Grytviken, South Georgia. The wreck was badly damaged by fire in the 1980s, during a military training exercise. Louise was a wooden copper clad three masted vessel used by C. A. Larsen to establish the Grytviken whaling station in 1904. Having transported men and materials (her baulk ports enabled long timbers to be loaded), she was used as floating accommodation and then finally as a coaling hulk. Built by G. and C. Bliss of Freeport, Maryland, USA, as Jeannie S. Barker in 1869 and then sold in 1880 to a Sandefjord company for use in the Baltic timber trade. She was 52.8 m long and displaced 1065 tons.
