The elegant, ultra-modern SS Koombana arrived in Western Australia in March
1909; after only three years of service in the North West of Australia, the ship
and her entire complement disappeared in a late-summer cyclone off the Pilbara
coast in 1912. All 156 lives were lost but the wreck was never found. This
thoroughly researched and compelling book comes closer than ever before to
solving the mystery of Australia's most significant maritime disaster. Author
Annie Boyd spent months camping along the coast, diving and investigating
wrecks, researching the Koombana, and meeting with descendants of those lost in
the tragedy. This insightful account is the culmination of her work, which
includes a 20,000 page online resource with background material and primary
sources.
