Salvage and body searches continued for days afterwards - see this particularly grisly report from the SMH of 14/11/1927 p.11 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16418501

Samuel J. Hood had one of his photos of this event published in the Melbourne 'Argus' - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3890173 - described as Monday 7th November 1927. The pontoon and sheerlegs belonged to the Sydney Harbour Trust.

beachcomber australia It's a shame we don't have photographs of the wreck being lifted out of the water. When you think about it, all those photographs were probably bought by the newspapers. Thanks for the link, great research!
