No confirmed wreckage or bodies from the "Waratah" have ever been found, although there were a number of unconfirmed reports: Wreckage was reported to have been found at Mossel Bay in March 1910. A life preserver reportedly marked with the name 'Waratah' washed up on the coast of New Zealand in February 1912. In 1925 Lt. D. J. Roos of the South African Air Force reported that he had spotted a wreck while he was flying over the Transkei coast. It was his opinion that this was the wreck of the "Waratah". Pieces of cork and timber, possibly from the "Waratah", were washed up near East London, South Africa in 1939.
