To Darwin aboard the Huddart Parker Line's 6,683 ton 'Zealandia'.
Zealandia had in interesting career as a wartime transport which came to an abrupt end on 19 February 1942 in the same Darwin harbour visible in the scenes at the end of the voyage. It was sunk by Japanese bombs in 60 feet of water with the loss of 3 crew. Other merchant ships lost that day were British Motorist (2 crew lost), Mauna Loa (5 crew lost), Neptuna (45 crew lost), and the US Army transport Meigs (2 crew lost). Nice footage, some interesting bits of kit.Thanks, Tony. Mike
