Can anyone help me with how to find information on the sinking of S.S.Ovalau in Oct 1903
My great grandfather was a fireman on board and the only report I have found is that the firemen were injured.
Where are the records for Lord Howe stored?  I was wondering if there would have been hospital reports or such.
