Desikoko discovery

Graham Hinton seen here holding up relics from the Desikoko, discovered in the early 80’s by a father and son while investigating reports by local fishermen who told them of an unknown wreck, the relics were donated to the museum in April. The Desikoko was built in Huskisson in 1934 by A.Settree and foundered near Newcastle in 1942. A comprehensive post about the adventurous life of this beautiful ship will be posted soon.
