 | | The most tragic of modern-day accidents occurred on 3 November 1927 when the 7000 ton liner Tahiti sliced through one of Sydneys famous wooden ferries, killing at leats forty people. |
 | | Even during wartime, Sydney Harbour provided excellent protection but three Japanese mini-subs managed to enter and although not greating any significant military damage, one sank the steamer Kuttabul with the loss fo nineteen young lives. |
 | | It was, however, during the migration years of the mid to late nineteenth century that most tragic shipping incidents occurred, tragic not only in the loss of lives, but the circumstances of their loss, being so close to their new home after several months at seas. |
