30/11/2007: "Saumarez Reef ........ Bow of ship"

The American TV show Wild Kingdom visited Saumarez Reef in a quest for shark and sea snake action. Show host Marlin Perkins (picture above) inspecting the explosion blast in the bow of Francis Preston Blair. Did a torpedo or Royal Australian Air Force bomb cause this?

We filmed F-111a bombers making practice attacks on the wreck during the making of Sea Safari my own documentary made for home video in Australia.
