The narrative chronicles the 25-year journey of a 125-foot Wooden Cargo Vessel, instrumental during the South Pacific War for transporting essential supplies. Launched in 1945, she served various roles, including ammunition dumping, aiding in the establishment of the Bomana War Cemetery, and facilitating copra collection from remote islands. The vessel also supported military training and operations along the Indonesian border. After her sale and renaming in 1965, she faced a dramatic rescue and eventual abandonment, marking the end of her storied service.
