Description:
New book, 189 pages. On the evening of 10 February 1964, the HMAS Melbourne sliced throught the middle of HMAS Voyager. The Voyager sank within minutes, taking 82 lives. Another 30 died of their injuries. It remains Australia's worst peacetime naval disaster. This book is a collection of first hand accounts of that fateful evening. Why did some men survive while others did not? Men from different sections of Voyager recount the moment of impact, their miraculous escapes and the harrowing minutes and hours they endured in the dark oily ocean before being rescued.
