In October 1994, Condor II, a large passenger catamaran newly built by International Catamarans Tasmania, became stranded on rocks near the mouth of the River Derwent Estuary whilst on twilight test runs. The vessel was carrying no passengers at the time but a large party of crew and engineers who were rescued off the ship. The vessel took several attempts over 6 weeks to finally break free of the rocks. Minor damage was repaired at Incat's Hobart factory and the vessel was delivered to its new owners.
