    There was an excellent book published in 2003 called 'Greycliffe: Stolen Lives" by Steve Brew. Copies would be available through selected Australian libraries.

    MV 'Malabar' at Long Bay, April 1931 ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Yes! There is another Hall photo signed and dated on this site, which is full of info about the shipwreck - www.michaelmcfadyenscuba.info/viewpage.php?page_id=68 " The only life lost was that of the ship's cat which refused to leave the stricken vessel. " Evidently the ship's bell turned up on eBay a few years ago ...

    Ahh thanks Beachcomber :) So the NMA has a print of that Hall image from the scuba site, dated 2/4/1931. They look as though they were taken on the same day bit.ly/XaL1kl. I wonder if Hall and Samuel Hood ran into each other out at the wreck site?!?

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Apologies - I failed to notice that the other photos were by Samuel Hood - oops. I don't know how long the wreck took to break up to this stage; the actual shipwreck happened on Thursday 2 April, and all over the Easter weekend huge crowds (500,000+) came to look. I imagine Hall and Hood were competing with each other to flog souvenir photos!

    Such a sweet child in appearance, probably a sweet personality also.

    Reports from Trove papers report that Emily was one of two women who survived. Read the story at. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/122085519
