Hi all,
The Hastings Western-****t Historical Society is trying to find a picture
of
the 69 ft wood burning ****p "SS Eclipse" (No. 64802) built in Melbourne in
1875. It took passengers from Hastings to Phillip Island 1878-1888 and was
relocated to ****t Fairy.
The ****p later was based at Geelong - it could have been lost in Bass
Strait
in 1900 but we believe that could have been another ****p with the same
name.
It was on the ****p register until 1928.
The HW-PHS is desperately seeking a photo for our collection.
There are quite a few ****ps called Eclipse and we have heard about nearly
all of them, and ruled them out, except the one we are seeking.
If anyone can suggest or point to where we can continue our search it
would
be greatly appreciated.
I realise I have not added where the search has been, our President,
****rley
Davies, and our maritime expert, Arthur Woodley have literally searched
everywhere.
We are hoping someone might have a photo or drawing/picture of the ****p we
could borrow.
Thanks so much for any help we may get.
