  1. Living in Williamstown, where it was in dock being repaired, I learnt of part of the story when in primary school through displays of Williamstown history by the Williamstown Historical Society. Would be over fifty years ago.

  2. Thanks for making this more widely known. Living in the Melbourne waterfront suburb of Williamstown, where the Shenandoah was in dock being repaired, I learnt of part of the story when in primary school through displays of Williamstown history by the Williamstown Historical Society. Would be over fifty years ago. A more recent local news item on this visit : https://youtu.be/yEBX2QTMrQo And from our state library more detail : https://youtu.be/t-h1eoyuiCQ

  3. Although the ship was docked at Williamstown and the crew were given railway passes on the government railway system but not on the private railway companies out of Flinders Street station to St Kilda and other south and South eastern lines. So even more mysterious unless St Kilda held some important attraction.
