50-year-old mystery of Blythe Star shipwreck finally solved.

The wreck of the MV Blythe Star, a coastal freighter that sank off the coast of Tasmania 50 years ago, has been discovered by Australian researchers using underwater exploration technology. The ship sank suddenly, and while all 10 crew members escaped, three died before being rescued two weeks later. The wreck was found in relatively good condition, with minimal growths of algae and seaweed, and sea life was found living in the ship. The cause of the sinking remains unknown.
