Description
The last photo ever taken of ‘The Forbidden Touch’.
Later that evening it capsized.
Luckily all 4 crew members survived.
They were strong swimmers and not that far off from the eastern shores of Bruny Island.
By all accounts of the event, the captain (Bruce, looked like a Bruce) did not seem that phased once upon shore.
In fact, one local resident said on record she found it odd all survivors quickly dispersed once ashore.
Captain Bruce (definitely a Bruce) seemed to be more concerned with finding food and water from the nearby park & rest area instead of connecting with the rest of his crew.
Such a Bruce thing to do.
