About MV Neptuna
The Neptuna was offloading at Stokes Hill Wharf with depth charges in her hold when she was hit. The resulting explosion destroyed the ship and damaged the wharf structure. The wreck is heavily broken, lying as a wide debris field rather than an intact hull, with machinery, hull plating and cargo fragments scattered across 14 to 20 metres of water close to the modern wharf.
