uncharted wrecks?
Submitted by grayzeee on Tue, 2012-03-20 10:16
Is every wreck out the back of rotto (graveyard) on the charts , or are there many that aren't?

wrecks
it depends on what you mean by wrecks , most of my containers/barges/wrecks/ large structure in the 100/200m zone are not on my navionic chart. cheers

Nope
I think what is marked is only what has been located, indentified as a ship and forwarded on by WA martime museum and hydrographic surveys. there are hundreds of ships that have been scuttled out there as its been a graveyard since the early 1900's alot however where old wooden ships taken out and used as target practice for the RAAF.
What is marked are only a hand full of the steel hulled vessels that have been located due to magnetometer scans. After the war heaps of ordanance was dumped out there, amongst all the other unfound wrecks there is pre WWII era submarine somewhere, a few of catalinas and hundreds of tons of 9inch shells and explosives.

I have about 8 "wrecks" in the 80-120 m off the back of Rotto that are not on Navionics and are not well known. Took a LOT of research to find the co-ords!!!!!!
