Dear Ms Townerv<'~~

I have checked the transcript of my eVidence. I have only one 'correction'. I had referred to the Tltamc wreck as beIng5 mdes deep. whereas it IS In fact 12.000 feet deep.

The Commltlee asked several things of me m terms of the supply of additional matenal.

1The MOU with the Sydney Foundation. I understand that thiS was provided to the CommIttee b~ the SydneyFoundation on the mormng I gave eVIdence.

2 Infomlauon on the post mOrlem. I am adVised by my staff that the post mortem was lost dUring WW2 and that we donot have any Information on file on the post mortem. I am also adVised by my staff that groups will be submltllngmfomlatlon to the Commltlee In Sydney on that matter.

3. Examination of the Carley Floats in the WA Maritime Museum. I have attached copy of an analySIS by the MantlmeMuseum indicating that the lloats were Australian made, that the two were not the same, and that they were not madev,lth all copper fastenings. The Queen's Head is said to indicate War Quality. I understand from Mr Noml ~elI. oncof the investigators. that he felt the exammatlon was not comprehenSive.

It has been suggested that these lloats are not from the Sydney for several reasons· the Sydney tlllats were Bntlshmade. the Sydney lloats had the Sydney's number, and the Maritime Museum lloats were constructed po,t W\V2 . but It

" not clear to me why all the Sydney lloats should have necessarily been British made. or that the tloats had not hadnumbers paInted over. or that they were not refitted after the War. In shon, haVIng bnelly reviewed the eVIdenceavailable here I am not convinced that they are not from the Sydney. I recommend therefore that a cllmprehenSI\eSCIentific and histoncal examination is camed out on the two lloats (and comparISons with the War Museum tloan, andthat proVISIon be made for fully reporting the lindings of that examinatIon. ThiS e.xamlnatlon Will require fundmg to heelTectlve.

PRESENT Mr Mike McCarthy, Mr. yt.;).elJ:,o,J H M A S Sydney AssocMiss. Karen Jackson and Mr. Nonnan O'Neill

a) No identification on the onter skin of Carley - Float designating it to anypaniclllar ship either l\lilitary or Merchant Navy.

b) On reversing the /loat it was found to have (4) four distinct holes punched intothe /loat ( as per attached diagram ). Which indicated that at some-time the /loathas been dropped onto some sharp object, in fact it appears that it would have tohad been made of steel considering the amount of internal damage done to the/loaration raft in the centre of the raft. The water-tight compartments had beenrnptured,

c) Further investigation found that contm!)' to belief that the /loats werewrapped lirstly in a layer of KAPOK around the /loatation raft then finishedwith a wrapping of canvas that in fact, ours was wrapped in BALSA-\VOO [)then finished otT with the canvas wrap. Also found was the fact that our centralraft was manufactured out of GANVANISED STEEL of approx 2/Sin. thickness.

d) \Vith the aid of a small torch we also discovered the distinctive trade mark of··LYSAGHr· which was the trade mark of "THE QUEENS HEAD" brand andthe alphabetical letters Land H - which would indicate that this raft wasmanufactured in Australia.I (Norm) later tracked down a piece of sheet metal with-in D.A.S. bearing thesame distinctive "QUEENS HEAD" brand stamp. Incidentally the brand wasalways stamped with the same coloured dye which was LIGHT_BLUE.

e)I (Norm) later contacted BHP Steel W.A. and was put in contact with one oftheir oldest remaining salesman Mr. Vince Carnevale who has a passion forcollecting all steel stamps. Vince faxed a copy of his prized "QUEENS HEAD"stamp and the attached Queens Head information on this product. Vince alsostated that the product had ceased to be manufactured some 40 - 50 years ago.It is also to be noted that there may be slight ditTerences in the Queens Head asthere were numerous stamps made during the time of manufacture by ditTerentstamp makers. The artist may have made slight drawing alterations but, thedesign was basically the same.

f) Attached is also a scanned photo of the CARLEY-FLOAT exhibited in theCanberra War Memorial A.C.T - The differences in the middle section of thenoat can be clearly seen - Slats as noor boards.

\>"ORB" IIWN-O~cr Eighty Years in use,

The Evolution of Galvanized Iron"WORKSIt I~; interesting to note <It the present day, when

lh~ u~e of Galvanized Iron has become so widelycXlended, that its introduction dates back only to 1837.Allhou()h a plain sheet was exlllbited at the GreatExhibition in 1851. it was not until the application of~te<lm power for the purpose of corrug<Jting was brought"bout in 185'1, that Galvanized Iron really came intopr,lclll:,d use.

rn Jb57 the celebrated .. ORB" Brand was first manu-LlctlllCll by Mr. JOHN LYSAGHT.

DUI"IJl\l the four scorc years that have since elapsed,WC<ltly improvcd mcthods for its production, andl'XlI Cllll' (,Ire ~xel clscd III Its manufacture, have securedfIJr LYSAGHTS GALVANIZED IRON cm unrivalleJI"IHltoltll'll throughout lhe world. and so universally hasIt h.·c'u oIdoplcd to mcl't lhc nccds of modern civilizationtkit It IIl"y WIth truth Le s<llcl that the sun is alwaysslllllil1\l on "ORB" IRON.

Important developments of the past few years,so far <IS Australia is concerned, have been the manu'facture of .. RED ORB," a specwlly rigid roofing sheetfor awnings, roofs, etc., 1J!<ely to be walked on, orwhere long and various rneans of transport might damagethe ordlllary sheet.

N"tllrally such shcets cannot be curved and arcbranded distinctly in RED to distmguish them from theordlllory "Orb" sheets.

Spec,fy "RED ORB" for your next roofing job.The incrcClsing use of water, other than rain water,

for domestic and other purposes, has had a senous effecton the !lfe of tanks ill some country dlstncts, and toIllllllmhc this disadvantage Lysaght's are now supplying~.upn-<:lloltl·d shcets ,)r 2'lu "Ile! heavier. THE LIFE OFTANKS MADE FROM \V!-lIGI IS GUARANTEED.

For the information of users, fo facilifate identificdtion andto provide meons of determining the life of Australion.m<!lde sheets, Lysoght steel sheets Carry certain identifyingnumbers ang symbols.

DATE OF MANUFACTURE. _ The day andnumber of the month of manufacture are ®stomped to the leff <!lnd right of the Orbbr<!lnd ond the year of manufoclure between 1 6the Orb ond "Australia."

Sheats ora branded on one side only, with the exceptionof 24G Blua Orb (which is used m<!linly for tankmaking).

On the reverse side of these sheels is a Tecl.A.Tank bra nd,incorporating the year of manufacture.

*INSPECTOR'S NUMBER.-Between the brand and the cndof tha sheet is stomped ·the identification number of thei.nspector who passed lhe sheet.

IpLACE OF ORIGIN.-Sheets manuf<!lctured at Pori KemblaWorks hova the latter "K" incorporoted in oil brands.

Sheats m<'lnuf/lctured at NawcaslJe Works have the lelfer"N" incorporoted in all brands.

GENERAl.- Zincanneal quality sheels lire an outstandinglysaght development. By suitable high lemperaturo treat·ment, zinc is combined with the stool base to form a zinc·iron /llIoy having remllrkable properties as a coating. Theresistance to atmospheric corrosion is parlicularly good,excellent service being obtained undor severo conditionssuch /IS those met with in coastal locations. Zincanneal ismarketed both as /I flat sheet and a pressed panel known/IS V-crimp.

PAINTlNG,- Painting can be carried out immediately Oilerection or fabrication without priming or fear of subse·quent peeling. Zincannoal is uninjured by heat up to atemperature of 600·F. It can be" slove enamelled withoutdamaging the protective surface in any way.

JOHN LYSAGllT (AustfJliJ) LIMIII:Il

ZINCANNEAL SOLDERING.-Zincanneal is quite satisfac·tory for soldered joints. but it is gener<!llly found to requiromore care than ordinary g<!llvanized sheets. Tho flux shouldbe more active th<!ln that used with <!In ordinary g<!llvanizedsheet, and raw spirits, or 50"/0 r<!lW spirits and 50% killedspirits ue recommended. Equally good results h,we beenobtllined with '60/40 /lnd 50/50 solder. Experience hasshown that the solderi ng iron should not be too hot.

WELDING.- Having Il steel base, Zincanneal can be welded6r brllzed by any normal means. The heat generated byelectric arc welding does not destroy the rust.resistin'}properties, and this materi<!ll is quite suitablo for spotwelding. High pressure and high current should be cm·ployed, wilh a minimum time of application. Exlonsivewellthering lInd corrosion tests have shown lhat in spite ofthe temperllture involved in the electric welding pro­cesses, considerable protection still remains at the weld.

NOTE.-Zincllnneal coalings must NOT be confused withlead Terne cOlllings. Containers of Zincanneal Me madeto hold ice, Wilt er, and food, as in refrigerator cabinelsIlnd ice moulds, /lnd the coatings are NOT injurious orpoisonous in /lny way.

INSPECTION REPORT- CARLEY FLOAT ­

BUNCO STREET STORAGE AREA

Thursday 7 August 1997 - 10.30 A.M.

Inspection by: Mr Norman O'Neill on behalf of Maritime History Dept.

,1-/e ;;? ('(),'2

Findings:

a) No identification on the outer skin of the Carley - Float, designating it to anyparticular ship either Military or Merchant Navy was found.

b) Unlike the Float examined at D.A.S. Karrakatla this Float was found to be ina mnch worse condition with holes punched in the top and underneath the Float.(Refer to attached diagram)Since inspecting the Float at D.A.S Karrakatta, I have been advised by theCurator of the Maritime History Department Ms.Sally May, that lnterstruct ,the company who had owned the Floats before they were donated to theFremantle Maritime Museum, had tried to have them certified by the FremantlePort Authority as safe to use. This request apparently was refused andInterstruct were advised to have these Floats made unusable - Thus the Floatswere laid into by persons unknown with pick axes which accounts for the variousdamage displayed on these Floats.

c) Damage top of Float:Numerous large gapping holes were found in the top of the float indicating that ithad been laid into with ferocious force which punctured the outside andfloatation tanks inside.The ration compartments on the top-side were in remarkably good conditionwith only one compartment being smashed. The end of the ration compartmentsshown on the diagram as (a) was smashed in and the 5 ply corner surround wassplit badly.The complete Floats wrapping of canvas appeared to have more than one coat of"Battle-Ship Grey" paint applied to it although, this had been absorbed overtime and now appears after storage to look like mere under-coat.Inspection of the holed areas on the inner flotation raft didn't show anymanufacturers marking s as the one at D.A.S had revealed.

d) Underneath Damage:This float appears to be more intact than the other in the way of the rope nettingwhich surrounds the ration compartment which is under-slung beneath the floatas per attached diagram marked (b).All floats are intact and are in good condition. (c)

;~II rop~~ on this Float were examined and there wasn't any evidence of thed~~gue core found. ( It was a practise of the Defence Dept. Navy having atlstln~t co~oured core placed in the centre of all ropes during manufacture to

bs

op pllfenng of sU~h stores. This practise was stopped I believe in t~e 1960'ecause of the cost Involved ). s

e) Th rIi

e ra Ion com~artments on the underside have almost all been destroyedre er to attached diagram marked (d) ,

LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES

In the I~oyal Navy the number and type of life-saving appliances supl'hedto each ship are detcrmined by the Admiralty, and depend largely on the lypeof ship and the dUlies on which she is cngaged.

In the Merchant Navy lhese appliances are supplied in accordance with theprovisions of the Merchallt ShiPPillg Act and by the Merchallt Shlppillg (LIfe.sat>illg Appliallces) Rllles, 19,18, and their number and type depend largely onwhether or not the ship carries passengers and whether she is ocean.guing orcngaged on coastal or cross·channel trade

CLASSIFIC..\TION

Life-saving apphan,es in warslllps (l1ffcl somewhal from thuse 111 Inel(h~nlslrip~, but generally speaking are of four main categories as described belolV _

(i) Llft-jllcliels. These are worn by indiViduals to support themselws 111

lhe waler, a sllllicient numbel being carried by merchant vessels tuI" ovide one for each person on board Under this heading are alsuIIlcluded the bnoyant suits proVIded in H M. ships

(u) Llfe-bl/oys. If a man falls overboard a Iife-buny is lhro\\71 to him to,him 10 cling to until he ,an be rescued. The number carned dependsupon the type and lenglh of lhe ship oJJld lhe lrade III whICh she"engaged.

/,il) fJlIoyalll apparalll~. TIllS tomp",e~ all types o( h(c.tloats or hle.ralt>which are designed to support a number of persons in or on the W.llertn lhe Merchanl Navy these supplemem the ship's boats. and Ihenumber carried depends upon lhe number of boats with which the shIp's equipped, and the nnmber of persons she is certified to carry. In tIleHopl Navy the ship's boats are nOl regarded as life.boats because theya,e nOl constructed as such and because it may not be possible to launchtI,el11 111 ~mergency; sufficient buoyant apparatus is therefore providedfo, the full complement of each ship.

(IV) I.I/c-bollls. These are specially conslructed boats carried by merdl.lnt,hiI", tI,,')' Ill"y bc I'lopdied by U,IIS. sails or mechanical means. and r-.e,lllr " rated to carry a specified number of persons.
