Looks like one of the Leander frigates in dry dock.
jbryce1437 said:
Pretty sure that is the Leander Class Frigate HMS Euryalus in dry dock. She did a short refit on the Tyne and was also the adopted ship of South Shields.
Wookie350 said:
jbryce1437 No, she's definitely a Rothesay class but I can't make out the deck code to work out which one
fear uk said:
Its HMS Yarmouth
fear uk said:
she came in for repairs after collision off Iceland during "cod war".
The other ships were BP Fern -no4 drydock, MV Penelope Everard, Shell hamble, and the drill ship Dalkieth.

The 'Cathay' (P&O, built 1925) was eventually bombed and sunk off North Africa in 1942 - www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=4063 . She lost a propeller / screw in 1933 between Colombo and Freemantle and had to wait in Sydney for a replacement. Trove makes this too easy! Read all about it - SMH 16/12/1933 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17033221 SMH 03/01/1934 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17037291 I have not yet found which dry dock the 'Cathay' was in. Probably Sutherland Dock?

beachcomber australia Thanks again beachcomberaustralia for those articles!
beachcomber australia said:
This article says she was in 'Cockatoo Dock', which could be either Fitzroy or Sutherland - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17057748

beachcomber australia Thanks beachcomber, if only Flickr recognised Cockatoo Island as a location! It's great to be so precise though. :-)

beachcomber australia Hi Beachcomber, we recently received an email from a gentleman who used to manage CI Dockyard who confirmed that CATHAY was in Sutherland Dry Dock. Mystery solved! :)

Its would have been hard to imagine when this photo was taken that a few years later it would be all gone.

The ship was trying to make up voyage time when she lost the prop. Passenger ships ran to a tight schedule prewar.
