High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The SS Malabar was a P & O mail steamship of 917 tons launched in 1858 which was lost in Point de Galle harbor on 22 May 1860. The passengers had embarked on the Malabar when a gale from the northeast drove the vessel's stern on to a reef. The water began to rise in the ship's rear section and the captain opted to beach the ship in a sandy bay on the opposite side of the harbor. However, the sand turned out to be loose and almost like quicksand, and it was decided to give the order to abandon ship. There was no loss of life. The passengers included Lord Elgin and Baron Gros, the British and French plenipotentiaries to China, and Times journalist Thomas William Bowlby, who later published an account of the wreck. It was reported that the Malabar's cargo included 1,080 boxes of bullion, worth nearly Pds. 300,000 and 725 chests of opium.
