Coronation Islands Unidentified (01/01/1940)

Coronation Islands, near Careening Bay

In 1978 Richard Hunter reported having seen ‘a long time ago’ a wreck at low water off the south end of the third-from-south of the Coronation Islands. Site inspected during WINC Expedition but at high tide so nothing seen. (Sledge 1978: 79-80).
IHunter surmised the wreck may have been a lugger burnt or wrecked by the military during WW2, however Rod Dickson advises no vessels were destroyed on the WA coast further north than Swan Point (Hunter’s Camp).
