Hi again Muriel
To the best of my knowledge it was 1922 when he discovered "Donnellys Creek"
so how long before and after he skippered the ship i dont know but will try to get further info for you
Norman Wisdom also served on the ship for a short time it was mentioned on a tv program last fri. night and that is why i googled the ship on sat.and came into contact with pat in oz who is jeffs neice
asurprise as we didnt even know that he had a sister

All the best
Ray
