Passed close aboard this wreck/grounding in early 1984.

A sad end for a handsome cargo ship - often seen at Port Adelaide in the 1960s.

I think this wreck is HONGKONG SURETY, a Taiwanese general cargo built in 1955, as Belgian LUKALA.
Here is the story, from the book 'Modern Shipping Disasters 1963-1987', by Norman Hooke :
"While en route from Singapore to Port-Moresby with a general cargo, the Taiwanese motor vessel HONGKONG SURETY was wrecked when she ran aground in the Sunda Strait on Angelica Shoal in lat. 07°46'S, long. 122°17'E, on February 19, 1977. After being struck on board the wreck for two weeks, the crew radioed for help on March 5 when the vessel began to list in heavy seas. The wrecked vessel was eventually abandoned on March 10."
