T. Williams: Union Castle Cargo Steamer SABINE.
The Sabine, 3809 tons, built 1894. Pictured here searching for the Waratah.
In order that the loss (of the Waratah) should be proved beyond a doubt the owners, in conjunction wth the Australian government and the underwriters, chartered the Union Castle cargo steamship Sabine to make a careful search of the southern ocean. She left Cape Town on September 11th 1910 having on board search-lights , towing apparatus, stores and an officer and 75 ratings of Royal Navy. On December 7th she returned without news of the missing liner, having covered 14,000 miles of sea.
