Australia Locates MV Noongah Shipwreck After 55 Years

The freighter sank in 1969, killing 21 crew members and prompting one of the largest maritime searches in the nation's history.

The MV Noongah was found largely intact and upright 170 meters below the surface off New South Wales.
Advanced seafloor mapping and video footage confirmed the ship's identity.
The wreck's discovery may help answer lingering questions about the sinking.
The Sydney Project plans further dives to gather more information.
Families of the lost crew members hope the discovery brings closure.
