Protection status
Location generalised as a precaution
The position shown is generalised to within about 10 km. The exact position is not published.
The year of loss is not recorded, so its age and protection status cannot be verified.
How this was decided: Voydar's protection rules, from the sources we hold, confidence 50%. When in doubt, Voydar generalises the position.
SS Kwinana was an Australian ocean-going cargo and passenger steamship. She was built in England in 1892 as the cargo ship SS Darius. In 1912 she changed owners, was refitted as a cargo and passenger ship, and renamed Kwinana. She was damaged in 1920–21 by a fire in her cargo, and wrecked in 1922 when she drifted ashore about 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Fremantle, Western Australia. The site of her wreck is now called Kwinana Beach, and her remains are automatically protected by Australian Federal Law.
