Description: Two men, a lady and a boy on the wreck of the 'SS Colliboi" off Woolnorth Point, Tasmania. The 'SS Colliboi", a wooden vessel that was built during the war for the NSW Government as the mother vessel for shipping trawlers and the scheme was a financial failure so the vessel was sold to the Tasmanian Government which ran her for some years at a loss on the Flinders Island service. The ship was then sold to Messrs Holyman, paying them a subsidy to maintain the service. The vessel had never made a profit throughout all her existance and had cost the NSW and Tasmanian Government a lot on money.
