Lost Ship SS Waratah: Searching for the Titanic of the South

In 1909 the SS Waratah embarked on her second voyage, from Sydney to the UK via South Africa. Filled up with families anticipating a new life on the other side of the world, what started out as a journey full of hope ended abruptly when the ship vanished between Durban and Cape Town. Ironically, the ship was due to be fitted with pioneering radio equipment when she reached the UK, but to this day nothing has been heard of the ship or her human cargo.
