SS Nemesis was a 1393-ton cargo vessel built by Thomas Turnbull & Sons at Whitby in 1880. While on a voyage from Newcastle to Melbourne laden with coal and coke, she foundered south off Sydney on 8/9 July 1904 during a storm, with the loss of 32 crew.[1]
In 2021 a wreck was identified and it was in September 2023[2] that it was positively identified by a surveying vessel looking for lost shipping containers.[3] The New South Wales Ministry of Environment and Heritage announced the identification to the public in February 2024.[4][2]
