Pics from pasha bulker prior to running aground

G'day Folks :)

Good pics of the Selkirk Settler, I remember watching an Ampol Tanker (I think) trying to enter Sydney Harbour in a similar storm in the late 60's, was watching from North Head, and she was taking green water back to the bridge:eek: they took her out to sea and brought her back in at full speed, ever seen a 40,000 ton loaded tanker "Surf" there were 4 tugs waiting inside the heads to pass lines to her to keep her from broaching, took about an hour to get her in far enough to slow and settle down, we had caught the last ferry to Manly that afternoon, "North Steyne" and had 3 ft of green water washing through the lower passenger deck, :D they were great ferries in those days:) had about 25 photos of that tanker but they and others got lost in a move in the mid 70's, also in that lot was some pics of Melbourne after Voyager sinking:(


cheers

You just don't appreciate what an enormous F up this is until you see it in real life and appreciate the sheer size of the thing and how far up the beach it is.
