Hansen, aged 34, lived in Marble Bar, and

had purchased the Toba for use in the fishing

industry, basing the vessel mainly in Fremantle.

The four crewmen on this trip were named

Martinsen (skipper), Hansen (almost certainly

a brother of the owner), Landhurst and

Jarlburg. They had been fishing in the Albany

area, and had been away from Fremantle for

about two weeks before returning to that port

with a cargo of fish.
