Fed: New lifeboat clue to fate of Sydney=2
Senior naval historian JOHN PERRYMAN .. an observer on the search mission .. says there
are four other boats not accounted for.
He says several different types of boats have been identified .. ranging from 27-foot
whalers to the larger 36 foot motor cutters.
Mr PERRYMAN says some showed signs of damage by gunfire and in one instance two of
the boats were resting on top of one another.
He says this supports the assessment that few of Sydney's boats were launched following
the action.
Other discoveries in the debris field included the Sydney's foremast .. its severed
bow .. bridge roof top and director control tower.
