This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Gwenda McCallum was young, single and determined to squeeze every drop out of life when she arrived in Sydney in 1949.

 

Mere weeks later, she found herself in the company of some extremely unsuitable men.

 

After one night of partying, Gwenda awoke on board an ocean liner. 24 hours later, she vanished.

 

Our guest today, Gideon Haigh, puts an inspiring amount of work and care into seeking the truth for long forgotten women into his books. His recent book, "The Girl in Cabin 350" is no different.

 

"The Girl in Cabin 350", can be purchased directly from Gideon here.
