Seamanship Mishap Near Fitzroy Island On Mulgrave River
An Australian coastwise voyage recounts Captain Homer on a vessel off Cairns near Fitzroy Island. The ship altered course to avoid bad weather, then faced fog and heavy rain as it neared Cape Grafton and Fitzroy, with Toland and crew struggling to identify land. The vessel returned to calmer waters, reports to the Marine Board follow, and notes rough seas and low visibility near the Mulgrave River.
