  1. Not likely with the currents by the South African coast and the typical routes ships used. If close inshore to use the northern flowing current to get cooler water they go north, and further out to sea the great gyre will eventually land them on the Australian coast, or north again when it makes a full turn. No, it went down off the coast, one of hundreds of wrecks littering the southern African coastline, and hard to find on that large area of ocean floor, that even today is not well mapped, though there are plenty of mappings that have been done for exploration for oil and gas, but actual side scan sonar mappings not much, though you have a fairly good gravitational mapping, but they are low resolution, so wrecks do not show up at all on them. Even wrecks that have actual positions known are hard to find.

  2. Not really, those have been around since the continent split, they just are statistically likely, but are impossible to predict as to size and location.
