Blythe Star kin

Features interviews with relatives of survivors of the wreck of the Blythe Star who were presumed dead.
The 44-metre MV Blythe Star was a coastal freighter that disappeared off Tasmania nearly 50 years ago. The vessel was travelling from Hobart to King Island when, on 13 October 1973, it suddenly capsized and sank off the southwest coast of Tasmania. All 10 crew members were able to escape the sinking vessel into an inflatable life raft. Tragically, three crew members died before the survivors were able to find help and be rescued 12 days later on 24 October 1973. The disappearance of the MV Blythe Star sparked the largest maritime search ever conducted in Australia to that time.
