G'day Charlie,

It's been very saddening to read all the saga of the loss of this lovely ship and the loss of lives. She used to operate in Sydney ... doing tourist runs - mainly around the Harbour. I can remember using her, while moored, as a backdrop to some promotional photos of one of our 'Colonial Dancing' groups ... some years back!

A high-school classmate of my youngest brother - who also is a workmate to me in what is now called Ausgrid ... Sydney's main electricity distributor used to crew on her ...

Regards,

Bob
