April 11, 1948. HMAS BARCOO'S first stages of grounding of Glenelg, SA - Photo RAN Historical.
4470. Debris still swirls through the sky above the distressed frigate. She is now on the West Beach sandbanks but daylight shows the remaining crew's efforts during the wild night to secure the ship upright have been met with success.
In the circumstances it looks like a quite seaman-like effort.
