Ly-ee-moon Wrecks Beneath the Light (1886)

The second officer of the Ly-ee-moon stated that in the four months that he had been with the ship had not seen any charts. He had mentioned this to the third officer, Fotheringham, he did not think it was his duty to ask for a chart, that a captain should offer them. Captain Webber kept the charts in his cabin though and the chart was never in the wheelhouse. The officers simply steered according to the Captain’s orders.  Ship Name: Ly-ee-moon Nationality: Australian  Ship Type: Propellor Steamer  Year Built: 1856 Tonnage1925 Year Wrecked: 1886 Location Wrecked: Green Cape Australia  Reason For Wreck: Navigational Error  Lives Lost: 81 Sources: https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/stweekly18860708-1.2.13?ST=1&AT=filter&K=ly-ee-moon&KA=ly-ee-moon&DF=&DT=&Display=0&AO=false&NPT=&L=&CTA=&NID=&CT=&WC=&YR=1886&QT=ly-ee-moon&oref=article https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/6097963/276566 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/6098296 https://books.google.com/books?id=JwN6AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA106&dq=ly-ee-moon&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjx_aLXnY__AhXEjokEHde9BIE4ChDoAXoECAcQAg#v=onepage&q=ly-ee-moon&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=j9U_AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA2315&dq=ly-ee-moon&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiIxaK9n4__AhVHk4kEHfY8Bmc4FBDoAXoECAkQAg#v=onepage&q=ly-ee-moon&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=JzXLDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT32&dq=ly-ee-moon&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjH07OrnI__AhVVAjQIHfhmBO0Q6AF6BAgKEAI#v=onepage&q=ly-ee-moon&f=false https://www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2011/07/05/3261634.htm https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/138807735?searchTerm=ly-ee-moon https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/maritimeheritageapp/ViewSiteDetail.aspx?siteid=1029 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/98460596?searchTerm=ly-ee-moon https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/174069013?searchTerm=ly-ee-moon https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/202162273?searchTerm=ly-ee-moon https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/237294300?searchTerm=ly-ee-moon
