SS "Norfolk" arrived at Fremantle on 21 st June 1906 jury rigged with sails. It seems she lost her propeller, She shed her propeller in the Indian Ocean on a ballast voyage from Durban to Albany. Capt. F. Corner rigged 15 hatch covers and fitted a bowsprit to carry a jib. With these he sailed over 1000 miles to Fremantle.
In Fremantle she was ballasted by the head until the shaft was clear and a new propeller brought from Sydney was fitted.
