Speakers Talk: The story of the Krait

The Krait has a fascinating history starting life as a wooden hull fishing boat but is best remembered for a raid on Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbour in 1943 by a group of allied commandos that demonstrated extraordinary bravery, resilience and ingenuity.

Hear about how this Japanese fishing boat became one of the most famous Allied boats in WW2.

We will discuss the training, the raid, the aftermath and the legacy of this remarkable boat which is now on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Presented by Terry Lancaster from the Museum's Speakers Group.
