Kelat

About Kelat

The Kelat began life as a four-masted iron sailing barque on the British-to-Australia trade and was eventually decommissioned and moored in Darwin Harbour as a coal hulk for refuelling steamships. Sunk during the 1942 attack, she now lies in 12 to 18 metres of water, broken but with the iron hull lines and cargo holds still recognisable. The shallowest of the major wrecks and the most accessible to less experienced divers when conditions allow.
