The Wreck of the Quetta and the family of Thomas McGladdery. — 6 Comments

  1. Great work Marg. A perfect example of unusual bequests explained by historical events.

  2. Thanks Marg for this fascinating but tragic story. One of my ancestors came to Australia on The Quetta. I did know about the sinking of the ship off Thursday Island so it was very interesting to read the details.

  3. Hi, I am a newbie to GSQ. Thanks for this great story. I am very interested in the Quetta journey. I am an ancestor of Henry Corser who survived; but lost his wife and oldest son (three other children had remained in Australia). It is such a tragedy. Angela

  4. Angela there is a book on the wreck. It may be in the GSQ library. I referenced it.
