Carnarvon offshore wreck
Submitted by Sky Eyes on Wed, 2022-12-14 10:46
Hi all,
On Navionics, there is a wreck approximately 34km NW of carnarvon (17km East of Bernier's Northern tip) thats lies on about 30m depth and go up to 25m apparenty.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this wreck? I couldn't find any info on the net and it's a bit far to go to find nothing !
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Sky

Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Lady Joyce
Lady Joyce wreck lies 10nm 210deg from the outer cardinal mark, in approx 15 metres. There are smaller man made reefs around the main wreck including one about 90 metres due north of it
To the east about .75nm there is a channel running N/S that produces pinks and black snapper

Thanks guys, The Lady Joyce
Thanks guys,
The Lady Joyce is not the wreck I'm talking about.
I have attached screenshots to my original post so you can see which one I'm curious about ;-)

Don't Know
Don't know of any wreck there, though there was an area where the sailing ships used to dump their rock ballast before sailing on into Carnarvon to pick up wool cargos.
The only boat I know of going down around that area was a mates catamaran that tipped over and broke its tow while being towed back to town that night. Was a 6 metre cat and not found next day when they went looking for it . Rosco was pretty pissed about that.
