Flagship of the Royal Australian Navy, HMAS Australia, Sydney Harbour, between 1913-1924 / unknown photographer

HMS NEW ZEALAND at naval buoy number 1 Farm Cove

  • Trainiac said:
    Appears to have all its wartime modifications, the larger bridge structure the most obvious. On its post war first visit to New Zealand I'd say.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Trainiac I think you are right, HMS NEW ZEALAND spent some time in Sydney in mid-1919 during a world tour, and that is probably the time that this image was taken.
  • Horatio J. Kookaburra said:
    This will be July 1919 when NEW ZEALAND brought Admiral Lord Jellicoe to Australia in the course of his world tour preparing a report for the British Admiralty on the future of the Dominion Navies [that is, largely whether they should be developed as national navies or enfolded in an Empire defence arrangement as branches of the Royal Navy. A very wise, far-seeing and decent man, Jellicoe recommended the former]. [Please note I am searching for a companion image here where I brain-fadedly identified the Indefatigable Class battlecruiser - with Union Jack on her flagstaff - as sistership HMAS AUSTRALIA I] during the Prince of Wales visit in May 1920. It's not. There were other clear indicators, the presence of newly-arrived submarine J5, to show it was July 1919]. .

    Horatio J. Kookaburra Apologies for the late reply Kookaburra2011, we put your response into our database. :)

    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...

    very nice colour sea. Great Black and white pictures.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    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!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    [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 ?
