THE French motor-ship Maria del Mar, owned by Captain Emile Savoie, broke down off the NSW Central Coast on July 10, and radioed for assistance. This is the third time the vessel has been in trouble in these waters in the last 2 years.
The Sydney tug Woona left about 6.30 p.m. and expected to reach the vessel the following dawn.

The vessel (394 tons) was on her way with general cargo to Sydney from Noumea.
Capt. Savoie lost another of his ships, Jacques del Mar, just two
years ago on a reef off Lord Hov Island.
Maria del Mar was formerly tl Margaret-W.
