Illawarra : Whatever Happened To ?
The above photograph of Illawarra is from Richard Blomfield. His father, Captain NC Blomfield owned her in the early 1950s in Jersey. He's contacted the HOA to try to find out what became of Illawarra and where she is now. I've been able to add one piece of information to what Richard already knew, which is that she was sold to an unknown owner in France in 1977, which is now (October 2017) the last known position. There's more of Illawarra's history under Captain Blomfield on the HOA website.
