Abstract

The wreck of the Myola was discovered by recreational divers in July 1994. The site was protected as an historic shipwreck under the Australian Government’s Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. However, a recommendation for the declaration of a Protected Zone around the site was not supported by the Minister responsible. Although the majority of divers strove to protect the site, significant damage was inflicted on the site. This has significantly reduced its archaeological potential as well as its visual appeal and subsequent recreational activity.
