Wyreema


Wyreema was an Australian steamship named after the town of Wyreema, Queensland.
She was a passenger liner that was hired to transport Australian Army Nursing Service nurses to Europe during World War I. However, with the end of the war, she was recalled from South Africa. Nurses from the ship were then volunteers at the Woodman Point Quarantine Station in Western Australia, nursing soldiers who were Spanish flu victims who landed from the ship Boonah.
She is reported to have "run down" and sunk SS Currajong in Sydney Harbour in 1910.
In 1926, she was sold to Brazil and was renamed Dom Pedro I.
