"Nella Dan" off the rocks

Some time ago, I posted an image (clickable PiP) of the Nella Dan hard against the rocky shore of Horseshoe Harbour at Mawson, maintaining her position with throttle at half power because her mooring cables had broken during a 200 kph blizzard. This is an image of her getting moving and being turned with the help of a boat, on 14 February 1966. In the foreground is the Mawson flagpole, flattened by the wind.
