SS PORT PIRIE
Every nook and
corner of the ship was filled with passengers for the Cape.
“The boat was advertised
as a fine, powerful, well equipped vessel - never was there a
bigger fraud - the ship was nothing more than an ocean going tramp.
The voyage from
Sydney to Cape Town took forty days instead of twenty-five and during that
period we passed through a series of experiences that will make that voyage
ever memorable ...”
