PLOT c/MK95-RG · version 1
The writer reports a shoal of large jellyfish with green tentacles off the last Williamstown pier, which he thought the wind had driven up into Hobson's Bay.
As the steamer passed the last Williamstown pier, a shoal of the common large jelly-fish was encountered, whose green tentacles streamed prettily away behind the pellucid disc, producing pretty colour effects as seen through the somewhat similarly tinted water. As none were seen in mid-voyage, or near Portarlington, it seemed that the wind had driven the shoal up to Hobson’s Bay. Historical passage
