    Now if my granny's cousin is in the 1938 electoral roll as a "hulk operator", what does that mean ? Work on one of these old ships ?
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Mich I asked one of our Senior Archivists in Public Access about this; she hasn't come across the term "hulk operator" before. It is also not listed in the "Dictionary of old trades & occupations". If there are any occupations/trades experts out there, perhaps you can help with this definition? AB

    Interesting histories of the 'Sobraon' - www.gunplot.net/colonialnavy/hmastingira1.htm and www.navyhistory.org.au/the-history-of-hmas-tingira/ (2 pages).

    14 years later the Sobraon cadets used their swimming skills to demonstrate the self-righting design of the life boat the Alice Rawson, launched at Cockatoo Island. See Don Shearman's recent additions to his family album -

    beachcomber australia Thanks for posting those links to the history of the Sobraon. pellethepoet Great photos, thanks for including them. Other Sobraon related info can be found on our Kieran Gallery - the story of Barney Kieran, Championn Swimmer of the World. He took up swimming when he was sent to the Sobraon industrial school and reformatory at the age of 13. AB
