Only six weeks after the loss of the collier Myola another collier, the screw steamer Tuggerah, foundered off the Sydney coast near Port Hacking. The 749 ton Tuggerah shipped a heavy sea, capsized and quickly sank. Only eleven of the crew of seventeen survived. Captain J. McConachie was among those who drowned.
The Tuggerah was a purpose-built collier owned by the Wallarah Coal Company. The vessel was built by the Clyde Shipbuilding & Engineering Company at Glasgow, Scotland in 1912. At the time of loss the ship was on a voyage from Bulli on the New South Wales south coast and carrying a cargo of coal bound for Sydney.
The remains of the collier, with part of the hull still intact, lie on sand in about 48 metres of water.
