Uncommon card · No. 149328

Waratah was a commercial steamship of the British Blue Anchor Line engaged in the transportation of passengers, cargo and mail between London and Sydney at the turn of the 20th century. On the night of 27–28 July 1909 and while on only her second voyage, Waratah, along with 92 passengers and a crew of 119, disappeared somewhere between Durban and Cape Town off the South African coast. No wreckage or remains have ever been found and Waratah's fate remains a mystery to this day.
