    I recall back in the 80's. With the sewer outfall so close. I never actually dived it, nor wanted to. Glad the deep ocean outfall came about. Looks like a great dive for local divers.
    Keep up the great work with the shipwreck series.

      I dived it a few times in the pre deep ocean out fall days, not nice. What I thought worse was the fishermen after a feed attracted by the sewer just 50 metres away.

    My father was one of the divers who salvaged the anchor that was in front of Malabar RSL Club.

    What a good little video of the Malabar and all the original films
    The ocean there is absolutely brutal , how quickly it was destroyed
    I was thinking maybe the smaller engine is the trawler that crashed later
    The Malabar engine is massive
    It looked quite a chore to be diving there with the very strong ocean currents 👍👍

      Not so much the current, but the swell. You just have to pick the right conditions

      It is at the time, but now these ships that met a premature end live on in name. The Malabar by now would have been scrapped and forgotten

    The engine parts at 6:11 could that not be part of the steam engine from the other wreck as I would have thought the diesel engine would still cover the shaft

The Marine Board of Victoria and Navigation and Survey Authority of Tasmania have (had..TAHO Tas, now I think?) had magnificent records of all domestic vessel but interstate would be Lloyd's Registar.

    Icy go fishing they're in my young days. But I've got to say common sense why you need to be so close to fcking shore anyway.
