Hey all,
I am a high school student who went to Bonaire this summer (and loved it!). I saw the Hilma Hooker and dove it twice, and became very interested in the story behind this incredible ship. At my school, each student gives a 5 minute talk on the subject of their choice. The Hilma Hooker is my first choice, and I have been researching it ever since. I have found all of the information and a plethora of pictures of the ship after it sank, but I was wondering if there would be somewhere I could find pictures of the ship before it was sunk, and the cargo being burned by the government. Do you know if such a source exists?
Thanks a million!

I can't help you, maybe some other person has pics. I would kind of like to see a picture of all the folks who were down wind of the fire..;)

The owner of Rendez Vous Restaurant had a nice collection of photos of the ship being sunk hanging up in his restaurant. That might be a place to start.
