We were only talking about the Centaur the other night ! I didn't realise they were looking for it ! http://ww2chat.com/forums/biographies/1105-lt-ellen-savage.html Annie
Annie, with the discovery of the Sydney, the spotlight has rightly swung onto the Centaur. http://ww2chat.com/forums/hmas-sydney/2179-discoverer-hmas-sydney-offers-help-centaur.html I'd like to see a search for the Armidale as well but am not sure how deep she might be. Much smaller ship too. Mind you, a proper search for Vampire wouldn't go astray either. http://ww2chat.com/forums/war-sea/4...tivities-hmas-vampire-crew-after-sinking.html
I guess this means, to over simplify things, the hunt is on! Shipwreck finders welcome Centaur funding - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
