Looking for the Centaur

The July 4th Courier Mail from Australia wrote about the upcoming search for the Australian hospital ship Centaur which was sunk during World War II.

David Mearms, who found the HMAS Sydney and German raider Kormoran, is heading up the search.

The Japanese archives were researched for anything that might help locate the lost vessel, but nothing came of it. Last month, tenders were sent out to locate the Centaur using deep water sonar, but I heard nothing of the results.

The Australian government has allocated $4 million for the expedition.
