produce these results even within the more modest calculated surge. At Cape Melville, survivors erected a memorial stone to "The Pearlers" lost to the cyclone, naming 11 Europeans but only citing "over 300 coloured men" for the other seamen. The Anglican church on Thursday Island, Queensland, also commemorates this disaster. Barometric pressure estimates Contemporary reports vary considerably in the reported lowest barometric pressures. The pressure recorded on the schooner Olive reasonably consistently show her lowest pressure recorded: to or between and . In a further variant, "during the lull in the hurricane, the barometer on the Olive recorded" to . Most sources record the schooner Crest of the Wave observation as . More modern reports of an observation on a vessel in the eye of Mahina are unrealistic (the most intense tropical cyclone, Typhoon Tip, had a central pressure higher). One author accepted the report from the Olive and the report from the Crest of the Wave, seemingly unaware of the discrepant reports. He estimated the track of the cyclone from the damage reports, placing it directly over the position of the Crest of the Wave. The Olive to the north missed the centre. The separation between these schooners explains the difference between their respective pressure measurements. He calculated the centre pressure, standardised for temperature, as . A study in 2014 found that the actual lowest pressure of the storm was around , based upon modeling of meteorological variables needed to induce the potentially world-record-setting surge height of . This surge closely matches new evidence on storm depositions and accounts actually reported to two other captains, and in a letter from an eyewitness to his parents, of a reading of . This study considers the apparently third-hand report of an unreliable measurement made possibly five hours prior to passage of the eye. In comparison, the tiny Cyclone Tracy devastated Darwin in 1974, with a central pressure of . Barometric pressure this low at mean sea level also likely caused Cyclone Mahina to create such an intense, phenomenal, claimed world-record storm surge that was not immediately known afterward. Popular culture In 2008, Ian Townsend published The Devil's Eye: a novel as a historical fiction novel based on Cyclone Mahina. The novel was developed as part of his research fellowship at the State Library of Queensland. See also List of disasters in Australia by death toll List of tropical cyclones List of
