AHS Centaur

Jan. 8, 2010 Courier Mail

Sydney resident Karen Schuler said her uncle John Frederick Schuler of Victoria vanished in World War II, leaving behind a wife and two sons. he just very well might have been on the AHS Centaur.

She has researched the military archives and found a hand-written "Schuler" on the margin of a list of the 270 victims on the ship.

The second phase of the search began today as the Seahorse Spirit returns to the site of the wreck to positively identify it, take still photographs, video and place a plaque. They expect this to take five days.

Mrs, Schuler's sister said she had been told that he had died in a torpedo attack on a ship, but had been given no other details.

Was He on the Centaur or Not? We'll never Know for Sure. --Cooter
