Hi Di,
If you and your maritime expert at the HS have searched everywhere then
it is hard to input anything. Still.... What kind of ship is she:
sailing? tall-ship (as the post is in this forum)? For what it's worth
I'd suggest www.classic-yacht.asn.au (address is admin at ...), plus
write to relevant long-established clubs in Victoria and Tasmania, and
also Port Authorities in both States. Ask them specifically to help
post an ad up on the noticeboard. Some folks in these clubs have very
very very long and detailed memory.
Good luck
