Shipwreck

The Tanjung Simpang shipwreck

This shipwreck was found in 2003, 400 meters from the shore of Tanjung Simpang Mangayau in the north of Sabah and at a depth of 12 meters. It is likely that the vessel sank over coral rocks, which combined with pounding waves, caused it to immediately break apart.
