Michael enjoyed reading about your journey to Australia. I made the same voyage in 1956 also on the New Australia and I was 6 years old at the time. Your photos and stories brought back memories for me. I remember the fancy dress party - I was captain. I have just retired and started a new interest in ships. Putting on a seminar on Titanic for Engineers Australia next year. Thanks Phil - Sydney, Australia

I am Fred Newton's (Ron) daughter. Was talking to my neice Jody Newton Graham and she told me about you, my half-uncle. You have lead an extremely active and exciting life and I look forward to hearing more about my grandmother Edith Webber Stuart Newton.

Hello Michael, Just surfed over to your site whilst looking for Sitmar related material - specifically, "Fairsea" and "Fairsky". My interest is through writing a second book about The Bee Gees who went to Australia on the assisted passage schenme in 1958 and returned to the UK in 1967. You have a great deal of interesting photographs and memorabilia which would serve to enhance the relevant sections in the book which is pretty much complete in terms of text - close to 150,000 words - but we're just adding to the image lirary prior to going to the design stage at the moment. If you feel you would be willing to assist, I would be delighted to hear from you. Best regards, Andrew

Just an unimportant addition to the articles about the DULCIBELLA. It seems to me, that it might be of interest to note, that this was the first name of Erskine's grandmother: Dulcibella Chester m. Rev Charles Childers of Nice, France, Holy Trinity Anglican Chuch where he resided for over 40 years. J Kiraly, English-American Library, Nice

Very interesting site. The photo of Will Thatcher labelled as a Chief Petty Officer, is actually a Petty Officer uniform and rank. A Chief has his rank designation on the upper lapel at the level of the tie knot. There is nothing on the sleeves. Example here. http://www.thebibleblog.co/bp1/2011/05/04/last-wwi-veteran-dies-at-age-110/ Regards Maurie Rose ex-RAN

Thank you for sharing the interesting page and contents on Erskine Childers and the fate of the 'Dulcibella'. Sad end for both man and boat alike.
