Tuesday Curatorial: Waratah & Papanui: Two Albany shipping mysteries

Hear about two ships with two mysterious endings—both the SS 'Waratah' and the SS 'Papanui' vanished under baffling circumstances, leaving behind questions that still linger over a century later!

Often referred to as "Australia’s Titanic," the SS 'Waratah' disappeared in 1909 after leaving Albany on just her second voyage. A few years later in 1911, the SS 'Papanui' met a fiery end on St. Helena during a migrant voyage to Australia.

What really happened to these ill-fated ships? Hear more about their stories and the theories that continue to spark intrigue and debate.
