The SS Oakland foundered in May 1903 after succumbing to a List, possibly due to shifting of cargo. The wreck lies in a depth of approximately 26-28 metres, and is easily accessible from charter vessels leaving from Nelson Bay. Unfortunately my diving was subject to Algae bloom, so video is limited. This site is prolific with Port Jackson sharks and wobbygongs as well. They were not to shy, with one Port Jackson swimming in to nestle under me. I had to back peddle to keep it in frame.
