Fed: Delay on Centaur search
The departure of the ship heading the search for the sunken World War Two hospital
ship Centaur has been delayed by several hours.
A group of scientists and explorers are still making preparations to search an area
60 kilometres wide 30 kilometres east of Moreton Island.
They are now hoping the multi-purpose Seahorse Spirt can leave by 11pm tonight.
A total of 268 non-combatants died when Centaur was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine
in May 1943.
The vessel has never been found.
