The MV Korean Star was a bulk carrier, built in 1984, that was wrecked on 20 May 1988 near Cape Cuvier, Western Australia.
[1] The Korean Star sailed from Hong Kong on 11 May 1988 in ballast with 19 crew aboard, en route to load salt from Lake MacLeod.
[1] While anchored off Cape Cuvier, she dragged her anchors as a result of cyclonic weather conditions associated with Cyclone Herbie and was wrecked on 20 May 1988.
The vessel was declared a constructive total loss after it broke in two shortly after grounding.
The remains are found only 56 metres (184 ft) off shore at the base of a cliff within the boundaries of Quobba Station.
