The Healesville and Yarra Glen Guardian reported on the 22nd of June, 1907: “The departure was made in the teeth of a terrible gale, but there was as much confidence in the ship as there was in the capacity of Captain Precious, the senior captain of the Great Eastern Company’s fleet. Both had weathered many a storm in the North Sea. Rarely, however, has the North Sea seen such a storm as that which burst over it the night of the terrible disaster.”
