Seventy years ago today, a US submarine torpedoed the Japanese transport ship Montevideo Maru crowded with more than a thousand mostly Australian prisoners on board.
The event, Australia’s worst ever maritime disaster, will be remembered with the dedication of a new memorial located in the grounds of the Australian War Memorial.
More than 600 relatives of those lost on the Montevideo Maru, plus others linked to the events, gathered for a luncheon yesterday in Canberra.
Among those who spoke was Federal Minister PETER GARRETT, whose grandfather TOM GARRETT was lost when the ship sank.
He told the gathering the memorial is righting a wrong by recognising the sacrifice of those lost in 1942 and of family members who knew nothing of what occurred until after the war.
