The Bluebell Collision
The sinking of the Newcastle harbour ferry ''Bluebell'', after colliding with the coastal freighter ''Waraneen'' in 1934, was one of the worst maritime tragedies in Newcastle, Australia, in the 20th century.
== Collision ==
Carrying between 40 and 50 passengers, the Stockton-bound ferry came into a broadside collision with the ''Waraneen'' and sank half way across the Hunter River shortly after 10:45pm on the night of 9 August 1934. Although it was first thought that all passengers had been saved, it was discovered the following morning that three passengers were still unaccounted for.
The ferry had jammed against the side of the freighter for a period of almost a minute before it began to sink. The brief interval allowed sufficient time for six passengers on the upper deck to scramble in to the side of the ''Waraneen'', while the remainder jumped headlong into the water.
People standing on the Newcastle wharf were unable to discern exactly what was happening in the middle of the harbour, but could hear terrified cries of women and children on board the ferry before it sank, and afterwards as they struggled frantically in the water.
