The Lifebelt's Secret: How SY Aurora Vanished Without a Trace

A single lifebelt washed ashore between Sydney and Brisbane about six months after Aurora left Newcastle, New South Wales, and for ten years the only other object linked to her was an engraved glass bottle found in 1927 - so how did a ship that survived five Antarctic voyages disappear with no wreck, no crew and no signal? What silence did the Tasman Sea keep when Aurora, a vessel built in 1876 for ice work, simply ceased to exist?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Aurora’s construction in Dundee in 1876 through her Antarctic service under Captain John King Davis to her final confirmed departure from Newcastle in 1917, and ask what could explain a ship famed for surviving ice being lost on a commercial coal run. What connects a lifebelt in 1918 and a bottle on a beach in 1927 to the ship that outlived the worst the ice could throw at it?
