Tahiti-Greycliffe Disaster

The 1927 Tahiti-Greycliffe Disaster
In this image two men in hats and coats stand on a pier inspecting the remains of the Sydney ferry Greycliffe after it was destroyed during a collision with another vessel.
In November 1927, SS Tahiti tragically collided with the Sydney Ferry Greycliffe off Bradley's Head. The collision resulted in the ferry sinking immediately with the loss of 37 lives, many of them school children.
