Steamer Wyrallah (1910)
The Australian passenger/cargo steamer Wyrallah (45.7 x 6.7 m), photographed by Allan C. Green in ab. 1910. My restoration and colorization of an image in the State Library Victoria archive.
The Wyrallah was built in 1885 (or according to another source 1887) by Morts Dockyard & Engineering Co. Ltd. The 45 hp. engine gave her a speed of 10.5 knots.
On April 8, 1924 the Wyrallah, owned by Gippsland Steamers Pty, Ltd., was on its usual run to the Gippsland Lakes from Melbourne, when it was nearly cut in half in a collision with the SS Dilkera. Six lives were lost. The ship foundered and became a wreck.
