The March 16th West Australian reports that a life raft found in the vicinity of where the Sysney sank Nov. 28, 1941 with 339 holes in it, was not the result of machine gun fire from the Kormoran.
Evidently, this canvas Carley Float is still around, as the story seemed to indicate that the analysis was just recently made, but it might have been made at the time.
Either way, the low angle of trajectory rules out fire from the Kormoran which would have been at a bigger angle. It is thought the holes were made by shrapnel during the battle and not afterward.
And the Mystery Will Forever Continue. But, At Least Now, the Final Resting Place is Known. --Cooter
