60m Wreck Ships Graveyard

The Wreck
This wreck is approximately 25m long, laying on its port-side and both the hull and superstructure have almost completely collapsed with only the Bow section still intact. Elsewhere the wreck is simply a jumble of hullplates, pipes and beams.

Most notible amongst this wreckage is the large boiler now laying on its back at a shallow angle towards the stern. The wreck is home to a broad variety of animal life with both Port Jackson and Wobbegone Sharks resident and a large population of mature Crayfish particularly in the boilers. We also saw a large ray off to the side of the wreck and heard a haunting whale-song in the distance which certainly added to to the experience. Overall this is a very nice Tech 1 level dive with plenty to see in the 20mins bottom time.
