  • Antoine R said:
    I think this is HMAS Vendetta (see my comment here: www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/12625484163/ ).
  • Antoine R said:
    I was wrong. The ship is surely HMAS Anzac (the second funnel isn't seen). And this photo is "mirrored" (look at the steam pipes).

Sinking of HMAS TORRENS I

  • Horatio J. Kookaburra said:
    It was November 24, 1930 and the ship in the background is HMAS Canberra, which will sink Torrens as target practice [i.e., she is not being scuttled].
  • Luke Reynolds said:
    I am looking for shots fo the HMAS Sydney (and other old naval vessels) after being shown this shot... My great grandfather is onboard, I am amazed at the size of ship but also the quality of photography back then!
