Wind farm discovers 1877 ‘ghost ship’ but the $500 million ‘Holy Grail’ wreck is still missing

A 150-year-old maritime mystery has been solved with the discovery of the SS City of Hobart wreck off Australia's Gippsland coast. Divers, after a two-decade search, located the iron steamer that sank in 1877 due to a broken propeller shaft. This find, aided by a wind farm survey, adds another chapter to Australia's rich maritime history.
