Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image shows the stern of the former HMAS AUSTRALIA I as it is being towed by tugs out of Sydney Harbour to be scuttled on 12 April 1924. The white ensign is flying at the ship's stern.

An article in The Sydney Morning Herald described the scene:
"It was at Middle Head that the BRISBANE picked her up. Four tugs - the HEROIC, the HEROINE, the CHAMPION, and the ST OLAVES were straining at her.... One tug was straining at her right ahead, another was on the port side, and another on the starboard bow, and the other was on the port quarter."
('The Last Scenes', The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 14 April 1924, p 10)
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly.
