S.S. Yongala On the 23 March 1911 a luxurious passenger and freight ship the SS Yongala sailed into the eye of a cyclone. It was not identified until 1958, having lain undisturbed for nearly 50 years.
On board had been 122 people, a racehorse called Moonshine, a red Lincolnshire bull, and cargo for northern ports. The loss of the vessel had a tremendous impact on Townsville and Cairns, with most passengers hoping to return to their homes and loved ones. |
