Although distantly and not by blood, I am related to William Ernest Moxon, a man who did not have his finest hour in the wake of the Koombana disaster. He was ambitious and determined to provide the finest luxury steamer dedicated to the Nor'West trade. This was to be the fast top heavy RMS Koombana, a disaster waiting to happen. Subsequent to the loss of Koombana Moxon's west coast Adelaide Steamship Co operation stumbled and faltered ultimately supplanted by the State Steamship Service.
