“The Wreck of the Nimrod”
Description
The steamship Nimrod sets out from Moreton Bay for Liverpool. When a storm blows up, not even the skilled crew can keep the ship from running aground. At last a bark picks up the survivors
Notes
Not related to "The Nimrod's Song," which is about seal hunters, nor (it is clear) is the ship the same as Ernest Shackleton's famous _Nimrod_, which sold to buy the ill-fated _Endurance_. - RBW
