DESCRIPTION

TitlePollution control gear at the grounding of the 'Troy D' at Bass PointPhoto Number002912DateNovember 1995DescriptionThe bulk carrier 'Troy D' was scheduled to pick up a load of blue metal from the Pioneer Quarry at Bass Point. The ship approached the jetty from the port side facing the quarry, overshot the jetty and grounded on rocks to the west. The crew were able to winch the carrier off the rocks the next day, after a fishing trawler towed the anchor out to sea. Fortunately the sea was calm and the ship only suffered minor damage to the rudder. It had to be towed back to Sydney.PlaceCoal LoaderLocationBass PointStudioR. & J. EastDonorEast, Russell
