MV ''Koolinda'' was an Australian general cargo and passenger ship which operated as a coastal steamer off Western Australia from 1930 to 1959. ==General description== ''Koolinda'' was built in 1926 by Harland and Wolff of Glasgow, Scotland for the State Shipping Service, and was registered at Fremantle.〔 Her official displacement was , she was 344 feet long, with a beam of 50 feet, and had diesel engines driving two propellers. ''Koolinda'' was used mostly for passenger and general freight transport on coastal routes in Western Australian waters. In May 1932, ''Koolinda'' famously narrowly missed seeing two German aviators lost on the Kimberley coastline.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Atlantis Seaplane )〕 The men were eventually found close to death. In the aftermath of the battle between HMAS ''Sydney'' and German auxiliary cruiser ''Kormoran'' in November 1941, the ''Koolinda'' recovered German sailors from a 31-man lifeboat and returned them to Carnarvon. ''Koolinda'' is sometimes confused with another State Ships vessel of a similar design, ''Koolama''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Koolinda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
