The mysterious final resting place of Finnish-owned sailing ship Glenbank has finally been solved, after going missing more than 100 years ago off WA after a voyage to collect copper ore.

Discovered in the spectacular Dampier Marine Park and filmed as part of the Disney+ series Shipwreck Hunters Australia, the historically significant finding uncovered the lost story of the Scottish-built cargo ship and its roughly 20 crew on board that lost their lives at sea.

The compelling and remote deep-water site was first found by local fishing friends Kevin Deacon, Johnny Debnam, Luke Leech, Justin Leech and Tom Radley before the TV show’s dive team (two of them, Debnam and Andre Rerekura, are pictured below) reported the find to WA Museum, whose maritime archaeologists brought expertise to the discovery and confirmed it was the missing ship.
