In September 2023, CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator undertook an investigation of the 120-year old wreck of SS Nemesis, a 73 metre steamship that sank in a gale off NSW, Australia in 1904. The investigation, undertaken on behalf of Heritage NSW, including mapping the wreck and surrounding area using RV Investigator’s advanced multibeam echosounders. The mapping shows the wreck is mostly intact and is sitting upright on the seafloor in 160 metres of water. This data, along with other imagery that had been collected, was used by Heritage NSW to identify the wreck as the SS Nemesis.
