40 Dead in Sydney Harbour 1927 - Chris's Response to Ashley


Ok
Ash's piece ended with words about sinking ships and drowning so mine is about a 1927 shipwreck in sydney harbour - google "greycliffe tahiti" if yr interested ... Have sydneyers heard of it? I asked one sydneyer and she said it was obscure, which is appealing to me of course....

Goodnight from MrC

yes that is obscure... and similar in a historical way to what steff and I tried to do to that postcard we posted a while back... I suggest a collaboration ................
maybe we each create a map of the opposite city using old events and happenings we can research? or we can share events/happenings we know about with each other and create books of these handdrawn things??

Chris,

I have never heard of it..something to do with it occurring in 1927 which is early even for parents of MY generation (fuck thats old)...we have plenty of obscurity here in Syd for you to mine Mr. C!
