Pole Location: High St, south of Cemetery Drive D, north facing.
In this work, Tracey has depicted the scene of a burning ship in the harbour of Port Adelaide in 1924, when the ship The Singapore caught fire and lives were lost.
The SS City of Singapore arrived in Pt Adelaide 22nd April 1024, at dock 2.
It carried volatile and highly explosive cargo of petrol, kerosene and oil. Over two days, 22,000 cases of petrol were unloaded and 4,000 transferred to the holds.
26th April, smoke bellowed from the ventilators and the steamer ship was ablaze. The fire brigades responded quickly – Pt Adelaide, Semaphore brigades, and Wakefield St headquarters were called.
10:30pm the fire seemed under control. But, beneath them, heat from the fire had released gas and coal dust.
11pm – a dramatic explosion occurred. Four sheets of flame shot hundreds of feet into the air. Buildings in distant suburbs shook. Pieces of ship deck were blown into the air, through the wharf and the walls of adjacent sheds. Fire hoses were damaged and the road surface strewn in all directions. The pyrotechnics display continued throughout the night and most of the next day and fire brigades fought to keep the flames from reaching the remaining flammable cargo.
Three firemen were killed while putting out the fire: Albert Greenman, James Hickey, and George Anderson.
A monument to the lost firemen can be found in the cemetery at Section B. Drive A. Path 11. Site 326 S.
