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.
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 👍👍
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
@@shipwrecksoftheworld878Could be too. Lloyd's Registrar generally have all engineering information on every ship. 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.
Great footage, love how the original film was mixed in with the dive , 10/10 :)
Thanks for the feed back

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

Not so much the current, but the swell. You just have to pick the right conditions
Fabulous history.
Thanks you
awesome video, i wish you guys could do a video on the peak and 12mile. not sure the 12 is doable but the peak is.
@@dillberry99 Thanks for the feed back. . I know the peak has been dived quite a few times..
@@shipwrecksoftheworld878 Would love a video on the southern and northern paarts of the peak. Lots of cool stuff down there
Excellent work. It's really sad to see such lovely ships smashed on the rocks
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
great stuff, new subscriber here.
@@davidhusband5022 Great

DUST TO DUST......IRON TO IRON OXIDE
What a screw up given the calm conditions and visibility. Hard to imagine a captain of 50 years making this mistake.
@@johnanthonycafe2993 One wonders why he was so close to the shore in the first place
Vessel going overseas did carry a cheap spare cast iron prop.
@@rsinclair6560 I’m sure the Malabar’s prop would have been larger than that one….it could have been a spare for the Trawler more likely

You know, fishermen use to help to tow distressed vessels stuck o. Bars, then the INSURANCE COMPANIES SAID 'NO'.
Two words; Great White!

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.
