TEARS FLOW FROM CENTAUR SURVIVOR-- Herald-Sun. Survivor Martin Pash, 87, is still haunted by memories of the night. "I still have memories. You never forget." He is excited and relieved to view the images. "This brings back too many memories." he is a retired truck driver.
CLEAR VIDEO FOOTAGE CONFIRMS CENTAUR'S WATERY GRAVE-- It was a six-hour mission. The submarine robot found three distinct features: the red cross, blue star on the bow and ID #47. The Remora submarine had problems, but spent an hour filming the wreck.
EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER-- The January 11th Brisbane Times reports that Jan Thomas is on an emotional roller coaster and was numb on the first glimpse of the Centaur. her father Captain Bernard Hindmarsh died on the Centaur. he was a doctor.
Two memorials are in the planning stages. One will be in Brisbane and the other will be for families and will be over the wreck.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS-- The dives had problems. There were two unsuccessful attempts. The first was an oil pressure leak on the submarine. The second occurred when the Seahorse Spirit's engine room developed an oil leak. These were solved, but limited dive time on the wreck.
They are unsure of when the plaque might be placed. Mearns says the soft clay seabed might swallow it.
A Great Find. Congratulations Australia. --Cooter
