Australia’s Titanic: The SS Waratah Mystery

Описание: In 1909, the steamship SS Waratah vanished off the coast of Australia…
without distress call…
without wreckage…
and without survivors.

More than a century later, her disappearance remains one of the most haunting maritime mysteries in Australian history — often called “Australia’s Titanic.”

In this documentary, we explore the full story of the SS Waratah:
from her ambitious construction in British shipyards…
to her final departure from Durban…
to the growing unease reported by passengers and crew…
and the chilling silence that followed her last confirmed sighting.

You will discover:
• The ship’s controversial stability concerns
• Eyewitness accounts from vessels that crossed her path
• The massive international search efforts
• Theories ranging from rogue waves and design flaws to catastrophic storms
• The human cost — the families left behind and the unanswered letters
• And the modern expeditions still seeking her resting place

The Waratah’s story is not just about a missing ship —
it is about the fragility of early 20th-century ocean travel,
the limits of technology against the power of the sea,
and a mystery that refuses to fade.

If you are fascinated by maritime history, lost ships, or the great unsolved stories of the ocean, this documentary is for you.
