MV Tassie III (S-77) was a 120-ton steel motor vessel, which was requisitioned by the United States Army during the Second World War. She was carrying 80 tons of condemned ammunition when she was wrecked 28°38′20″S 153°36′50″E / 28.638795°S 153.613906°E / -28.638795; 153.613906 while sheltering at the jetty at Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia, on 9 June 1945.[1]
The Australian salvage tug Tancred salvaged most of the ammunition from the wreck in 1946.[2]
