Incredible detail! And just as remarkable was the rediscovery of the wreck not so long ago by the Maritime Heritage Office. There is a chapter dedicated to the construction of this ship in Ian Johnston's book Clydebank Battlecruisers which show the birth of this great battlecruiser.

This event was particularly well documented. See also various other pages in the Sydney Mail of 16/4/1924 as well as this one - news.google.com/newspapers?id=eswzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=IZYDA...

beachcomber australia It was indeed, and an all the more significant event considering it was Australia's first naval flagship. Stay tuned, more photographs from this event to come!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It seems a particular shame that they didn't, she was Australia's first naval flagship after all.

"The vessel is listing to starboard side, its mid-section close to the waterline." Don't you mean LISTING TO PORT ?
