Location generalised as a precaution
The position shown is generalised to within about 10 km. The exact position is not published.
Lost in 1942, during a world war; the cause is not recorded, so it may be a war grave.
How this was decided: Voydar's protection rules, from the sources we hold, confidence 50%. When in doubt, Voydar generalises the position.
SS Iron Crown was an Australian cargo steamship that was built in 1922 for the Commonwealth Line as Euroa, named after the town of Euroa in the state of Victoria. Broken Hill Proprietary (BHP) acquired her in 1923, renamed her Iron Crown, and used her as an iron ore carrier. A Japanese submarine sank her in World War II.
