The vessel was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1943 and sank off the south-east Queensland coast, according to abc.net.au.
Queensland Maritime Museum CEO Ian Jempson said that 7,000 ships foundered in Australian waters and with only 2,000 of them discovered enthusiasts are still keen on finding the remaining vessels.
“I’m not aware of any impending large-scale searches but I think there will always be people who have a personal or a passing interest in trying to track down a certain wreck,” he said.
Of the 332 people on board on the Centaur when it was bombed, only 64 survived.
