Christine, If you are an avid collector of MURRAY, YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS SNIPPET, SUNDAY, 23RD MAR, 2003 IS THE ANNIVERSAY OF THE LOSS OF SS YONGALA, there were officially 121 lives lost, they do not include 8 week old AILSA MARY MURRAY, boat lost 24th Mar, 1911. I have a good book called The Ghost Guide to Australia, and there are (2) stories on the ghostly sitings of the Yongala. I'll post to the Sutherland list, which carries some MURRAY lines. Jenelle.
