Shipwreck
A wreck in Muschu Bay is likely this wreck.
Justin Taylan dived in 2004 with John Douglas:
"It appears the ship might have been partially salvaged, large pieces
are pulled away. The large, center cargo hold is empty. The
wreck has a lot of fish life and fan corals, very impressive dive. All
the inner compartments are easily accessible. According to
villagers, the captain(?) sawm Muschu's nearby shore and was
saved."
