In 1974 Cyclone Tracy demolished Darwin. The 36m long 3 masted schooner "Booyah" was last seen in Darwin Harbour. She put out one mayday call and was never seen again, vanishing with all hands.
The impression I got from the story is that the ship is being protected as a courtesy to the crew's survivors, because there may still be identifiable human remains.
Nods, though to my mind that seemed a secondary goal to my reading of the article - remains were barely mentioned at the end of the article and only warrented just a few lines...
