FOREWORD
FEBRUARY
10, 1964.......
A tragedy this day stunned
our Nation - Australia’s
worst peace-time military disaster - the sinking of the destroyer HMAS VOYAGER.
To determine the cause, the
Government of the day hurriedly convened Investigations and Royal
Commissions. Today, these seem
irrelevant.
Reality is that a collision
between two warships did occur. More
than 80 lives were lost, many seriously injured and others permanently
traumatized.
It is not Carla Evans’ intention
to cover blame or highlight nautical error.
Her aim is to project the human factor associated with the disaster by
recalling personal experiences of that fateful night. Moving stories from both survivors and
relatives and how these people picked themselves up and got on with their
lives. She achieves this with compassion
and feeling.
FEBRUARY 10 1964
Has long gone, but the date
remains ever present with relatives of those who died and all the survivors of HMAS VOYAGER’s sinking.
