Tsmv Manoora

[PETER HOPKINS]

I am looking for any photographs at all on the Manoora. She was I believe
owned by Adelaide Steamship Co. She travelled around the east coast of
Australia during the 60's. I know she was sold and called Ambulombo and foundered
somewhere near the Phillipines. I was fortunate enough to travel on her
to Cairns from Melbourne and return in 1957. I have very fond memories
of her and the Kanimbla. Any photos of either of these two wonderful vessels
would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Ahoy Peter,

Are these you're looking for?

Many thanks Ruud. She had a great history and came really unscathed throughout WW 2, not without a few close shaves. I am trying to obtain a really good photograph
for framing purposes, so if someone has a good photo I would be more than happy
to purchase it.
Cheers,

Peter:
I noticed that there is a print available online showing her sinking an Italian freighter.
It's a reasonable price, but it may be too small for your purpose.

Ahoy Peter,

This is the best I've found in my files.
