It covered the distance of 637 miles at an average speed of over 12.35 knots. The Age, which is one of the most modern colliers on the coast, visits Melbourne once every week, and discharges her entire cargo by means of mechanical grabs and conveyor belt in about 21 hours.

Harpalyce and Harpagus, which were built together at Redhead’s yard, South Shields, in 1930, have been sold to European buyers and renamed.
