West of Stragglers Rocks, in 19 m on the Five Fathom Bank, lies a second bucket dredge. Divingwawrecks lists it as unidentified, discovered in the 1990s and probably the Fremantle Dredge, which was bought to be stripped and sold for scrap. Only its fittings and boiler were removed before it was scuttled here, in the hope that the reefs around Stragglers Rocks and the Mewstones would stop wreckage drifting into Gage Roads. The Marine Life Network identifies it as the bucket dredge Fremantle, built in 1894 and scuttled in 1936.

The wreck sits upright on clean sand, extending about 50 m with the bow facing south-west. The bow is still fairly intact and structure stands up to midships, though some sections have collapsed. Divingwawrecks calls it a great clean dive site, and visibility is often 10–15 m because of its distance from the coast.

Delicate sponges and corals cover much of the ironwork. Schools of bullseyes and old wives shelter inside the frames, and there are buffalo bream, wrasse, western rock lobster and the occasional wobbegong. Dhufish and samson fish sometimes visit.

At 19 m this is a deeper dive than most in the Fremantle area, so it suits Advanced divers or Open Water divers with experience and a guide. It is exposed and needs calm weather, but it is one of the better intact wrecks between Fremantle and Rottnest.

Because two dredges lie in the Stragglers area, check GPS positions carefully: this one is deeper and further west. A surface marker buoy is useful, as boats heading to Rottnest pass close by.

Launch at Woodman Point (a run of about 6 nautical miles), Leeuwin Boat Ramp in East Fremantle or the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour ramps. Stragglers Rocks are the visible rocks roughly 4–6 nautical miles west of the Fremantle Harbour entrance, south-east of Rottnest's Bickley Point, on the edge of the Five Fathom Bank; the Mewstones lie to their south. This wreck lies further west than the shallower Stragglers Dredge, at S 32°03.801' E 115°36.230', about 6 miles off Fremantle and 4 miles south-east of Bickley Point, Rottnest.

Drop a shot line on the sand beside it. Allow about 25–30 minutes from Woodman Point.

Open water on Five Fathom Bank; needs swell under about 1.5 m and light winds. Rottnest gives some shelter from south-westerly swell, but north-westerly winds before winter fronts and the afternoon summer sea breeze make the site uncomfortable. Visibility is usually better than inshore, 10–15 m.

Swan River outflow after heavy winter rain can occasionally reach the site.

Descend the shot to the sand at 19 m, tour the wreck from the relatively intact bow (facing south-west) along the midships structure, then rise to the upper parts of the wreck for the second half of the dive. Ascend the shot with a safety stop.

Nitrox 28–32% helps extend bottom time.

Occasional trips by Fremantle operators and clubs; mostly private boats.
