The
Sibigo of the Netherlands merchant navy was caught in a cyclone in the Coral
Sea on M arch 16, 1945, and foundered with the greater part of her 85 men crew.
Only 13 survivors were picked up by a steamer of the same nationality after
having been drifting about on two raft for several days. Among those who were
rescued were the second officer and the chief wireless operator. The former
reported that the captain did all in his power to save the vessel and her crew.
The gale commanded at 11 a.m. on March 13. Tremendous seas battered the ship,
the engines broke down and the holds were making water. The boats were all
washed overboard so that, when the order was given to abandon the disabled
vessel, rafts had to be flung overboard. The two wireless operators and some
men of the crew managed to find momentary safety on one of the rafts. The chief
radio officer reported that the last he saw of the captain and the first
officer was that they were standing together on the navigating bridge of
sinking vessel. The raft was overturned several times and the second wireless
operator and a native sailor were
drowned. The wreck was rolling heavily and suddenly she was seen to turn over
on her beam-ends. She righted herself again for moment and next went down stern
first. The raft was tossed about helplessly for four days, the castaways living
on tins of milk and meat, but lacking drinking water all together. On March 20
a search plane spotted them and enable to land on the rough seas, dropped food
supplies. A gunner’s mate left the raft to try and secure the supplies, but his
strength giving out, he was drowned. Of the six rafts that had left the ship
only two were found, carrying thirteen survivors. In spite of an extensive
search by sea and air not a trace was discovered of the other rafts. The Sibigo
was built in Rotterdam and in 1928 taken over by the Royal Packet Navigation
Company for the inter island trade in the Netherlands East Indies. When the
Japanese invaded this island, the Sibigo managed to escape unharmed from the
port of Tjilatjap on the South coast on central java, arriving in a West
Australia port on March 7, 1942. Afterwards she made many trips between
Australia and New Guinea, carrying supplies for the allied armies.
