Most of the city was destroyed in the cyclone.Initially, 65 deaths were reported: 49 on land and 16 at sea, but on March 17, 2005 a new Coroner's report found six people on board the vessel Booya, which sank in Darwin Harbour during Cyclone Tracy, to have perished at sea. This effectively revised the previous 'lost at sea' estimate; the official death toll from Cyclone Tracy stands at 71: 49 on land and 22 at sea.
