The Torres Herald found some severe trouble at this weekend. Projecting masts were all that might be spotted after the huge old wooden boat sank in Calliope River. Senior Const. John Kernan told that the police were attempting to find the owner.
He added that volunteer Marine Rescue gave them information that a yacht had sunk this morning. At presenting they are trying to search the owners. The harbor master and Maritime Safety Queensland have been advised. Investigating officers are carrying on into the matter and they would have to work out how to remove the yacht. The mariners must take care when navigating across there. It is not too dangerous though because there are two masts visible at all tides.
Russell Charles, the VMR Gladstone controller, stated that he came to know about the sinking just yesterday morning. They got a whole lot of reports regarding this at this morning. Because it is a salvage operation, it is outside of their constitution.
A leading newspapere came to know that if the vessel is thought to be a problem to natigation, then there would have been an order passed to get the boat removed. People paid tributes on the Gladstone community site All Things Fishing.
Mellie Stratton brought back some old memories: She said: Its name was Torres Herald, it has been around a long time that boat. Her dad remembers it from the 60s and 70s up in the Straits.
