SS Nestor?
A moving memorial site. I could not get the HMAS Canberra item to come up. My mother came out on the SS Nestor and she said they picked up and brought back to Australia many of the survivors of the HMAS Canberra. She had 2 young children and the sailors were marvellous at helping her with them. I just wondered if you had any information on the SS Nestor and this situation. Thankyou,
Thank you for your message. I do not know why you could not get my Canberra story to come up. I am at a complete loss about your mother's story about SS Nestor picking up survivors from HMAS Canberra. I can assure you no survivor from her sinking on the 9th. of August in 1942 in the Solomons came back to Australia in SS Nestor. We were all brought home to Sydney in the USA ship President Grant, myself included. So I am unable to help in regards your question. Regards, |
