Well done Best doc yet of SS Nemesis I am an ancestor Alf Russell and possess purported panel from the ship washed up on Cronulla and picked up by my grandfather and Alf Russell’s brother James Joseph Russell . Nemesis was a controversial ship to some regarded as a dangerous ship that should have been retired while Huddart engineer regarded at the Magistrates Inquiry as seaworthy. Strange trivial fact I found from research great grandfather William Orrell soldier was on Iberia when it collided with Ss Nemesis which would take my great grand uncles life firemen Alf Russell

On Shark attacks, The Anti-Aircraft cruiser USS Juneau was Torpedoed and left behind by the other US Ships in the squadron, The Squadron did not break Radio silence so no rescue efforts were attempted in the immediate. Many of the Crew had survived the sinking but were victims of Shark attacks. Also, The 4 Sullivan Brothers were on the Juneau and perished which changed US Navy policy regarding Brothers serving on the same Ship.

The Chinese have raised many of these ships in recent years to recycle/reuse/salvage the metal and steel. They have salvaged HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse almost entirely. The Chinese salvage vessel Chuan Hong 68 is specifically designed for salvage and has desecrated many wrecks for their pre nuclear steel.

When the Nagano Maru was launched in 1917 in Nagasaki, Japan was one of the Western Allies against Germany. Now the ship was a victim of the changing politics and different Alliances between Japan and Germany that used up Japanese people and vital resources.

Another excellent documentary Max ! I was for many years the master of the Steam Tug Wattle which is equipped with the same chain steering system as the SS Undola. What stands out to me is that the rudder of the wreck is fully at 90 degrees to starboard. This is a compelling clue that the steering chain may have parted as it most unlikely that the rudder could ever be turned to such an extreme angle in normal use.
@shipwrecksoftheworld878 Ай бұрын
Hi..Ok, that's indeed interesting. So do you agree with my theory that if the helm pointer is not showing "hard to starboard", the chains could have broke again as they did off Bondi in 1912?
@Jetchisel Ай бұрын
@@shipwrecksoftheworld878 Yes, if the helm indicator does not show "hard to starboard" it conclusively supports your theory. Regardless, the strongest evidence that the port side steering chain had broken is that the rudder on the wreck is at the extreme angle of 90 degrees to starboard. The steering engine would not have allowed such an extreme angle to be achieved. I suggest that you ask the Steam Tug Waratah's master for his opinion as well. I think that your on the right track for closure to this mystery. The breaking of steering chains was not a rare occurrence and had already happened to the SS Undola on a number of occasions. The last vessel to be wrecked at Port Phillip Heads was the SS Time in 1949 due to the breaking of her steering chain. This is why I fitted Wattle with new steering chains during her restoration in 1985.

Yes, she was quite a handsome vessel in many ways for her role, typical of the era and design - love the elliptical stern or counter stern as it was known. A hangover from the sailing ship days along with the clipper bow (not used on the SS Nemesis), but used on many steam ships in day, like the IBERIA involved in the collision. Must have been quite a moving day for the families. Well done on yet another fantastic piece of our rich maritime heritage.
