The D9 wreck was built in the 1930s to serve as a bucket dredge. Later it was sold and converted to a suction dredge to help excavate channels in the Kwinana area in Australia. Official reports state that it sank during a big storm, but rumors say it was sunk intentionally for insurance reasons. The ship is 50m/164ft long and is in a good condition to be penetrated.
