History of the name Rayville:
The City of Rayville was an American ship that went down off the coast of Cape Otway in 1940 after hitting a mine laid by a German raider called Pinguin. Local fishermen from Apollo Bay went to the rescue of the crew of this destroyed ship.

The units built by owner, Ross Stephens, have been named in honour of these men who risked their own lives to save others. Each of the ten units is named after one of these fishermen. Ross' father was among those who travelled in their own small vessels to help the rescue effort.
