Palana Ship Survived War Attacks Sinks After Reef Collision
The 11,000-ton British freighter Palana, long hailed as unsinkable, had survived mines and air attacks in World War II but grounded on a reef off the Great Barrier Reef near Mackay Queensland. Captain F R Spurr radioed that she was sinking slowly after hitting a rack off Pine Peak Island. 69 crew members evacuated to lifeboats and were aboard the Dutch freighter Singkep, which stood by but could not assist. Tugs from Brisbane and Townsville were en route, expected to reach soon.
