IntroductionThe wreck site at Drummond Rock was first reported to the W.A. Museum in 1967 by Rick Hammond (Fisheries Department ) and Laurie Payne (Crayfisherman). The first examination of the site was in 1969 by a Museum team after the death of Laurie Payne. In subsequent years the site has been re-examined by two Museum teams as a part of the Wreck Inspection programme (Sledge 1974 and McCarthy 1980) and by divers from MAAWA (George Green and Denis Robinson 1979).
