Biography

Second mate ss Le Maire

Venninga left Tjilatjap for Bunbury (SW Australia) on February 27, 1942 on the SS Le Maire, but the ship never arrived there. What happened along the way could not be determined with any certainty; the ship may have fallen victim to Japanese torpedoes, just like the Toradja.
