Description
“Tent in which the party wrecked in ‘Cairndhu’ lived for 3 weeks on Malo.” Group portrait of the crew of the Cairndhu with a few inhabitants of the island. They stand before a makeshift tent of large sheets (sails?) draped over a wood and metal structure. The three-masted schooner which was chartered by the Dayspring Board of the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales to convey material for new stations of the New Hebrides [Vanuatu], was wrecked on the island of Malo in 1887. The passengers and crew were all saved, and mission stores, of which the vessel’s freight was composed, were landed safely.
