Dry docking the whaler
Description
Jan Senbergs collaborated with Col Madigan, one of the Armidale survivors to create this work which forms part of a series of ten paintings depicting the sinking of HMAS Armidale on 1 December 1942. On the fourth day, the survivors managed to raise the ship's whaler, dock it to a half submerged makeshift raft and repair it with canvas.
