The Hilda was an iron screw
steamer built in Port Glasgow, United Kingdom, in 1879.
Operating as a collier along the New South Wales coast, the
Hilda had a length of 38 metres, tonnage of 222 tons, and
owned by the Coal Cliff Company. The vessel was totally
wrecked on 20 June 1893 while on a voyage from Port Kembla
with coal. Under command of Captain Phillipson, the steamer
drove onto the rocks on the north head of Port Hacking and
became a total loss with the eleven crew saved.
