ATSB Report on HMAS Leeuwin Collision with Container Ship
An interim report into the collision between a container ship and the sail-training ship STS Leeuwin in Fremantle Port last year provides new details on the accident, which severely damaged the Leeuwin and injured two of its crew.
That headline is backwards. The Leeuwin was moored. It did not collide with anything.
That is incredible footage
I don't know how on earth I missed this when it happened. My family has roots in Freo; people in my family have lived there for over a century.
Somehow nobody spoke of the incident. It should have been a talking point for at least a week.
Belltower Times Post. I suppose i only obliquely referenced it at the time. Thought it was a big enough event that a link on here wasn't very useful.
