I'm sure there would be some connection there somewhere, pity my dad wasn't still alive, he had a good memory for all that info.
My grandfather retired in 1931, I'm not quite sure of his age at that stage, but I could find out, he was getting on a bit, around 70 I think.
The wreck of the Hesperus was a common saying when I was a child, I'm 50 next month, there was certainly some history on that name.
By accident I stumbled into meeting the CEO of the Brisbane Maritime Museum & brought up the conversation regarding The Hesperus & he offered to help me look into it, which I thought was nice of him, he seemed to take an interest in it also, I shall have to chase him up on that one.
