A 106 metre long and 15 metre wide steamer wrecked four miles from Fuengirola and just over two miles south of Punta de Calaburra lighthouse, the SS Menapier lies in the coastal waters of Mijas Costa.

She was constructed in 1907 in England and was first known as Lady Garrington. Renamed some years later to SS Menapier, she sunk on 17th November 1917 after a collision with SS Iddesleigh while on passage from Villaricos to Gibraltar with a cargo of iron ore.
