My Grandfather was killed, falling from the 2000-ton coastal vessel, Dilga, on the Saturday 22nd July 1950, at New Farm wharf, Brisbane. I would like to know if I could get a photo of the ship? Thank you --- Helen May

My father was an engineer on the Dilga in the 1930s sailing from Adelaide to Newcastle. Do you have any records of his time on the Dilga? His name was Harry Cresswell Young, born 1903. Many thanks
