    Now if my granny's cousin is in the 1938 electoral roll as a "hulk operator", what does that mean ? Work on one of these old ships ?
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Mich I asked one of our Senior Archivists in Public Access about this; she hasn't come across the term "hulk operator" before. It is also not listed in the "Dictionary of old trades & occupations". If there are any occupations/trades experts out there, perhaps you can help with this definition? AB

    The Sobraon became the HMAS Tingira. I have one of your sailors. He must be AWOL perhaps? www.flickr.com/photos/highranger/7435874192/in/photostream In 1911 on the formation of the Royal Australian Navy the SOBRAON passed to Commonwealth control for use as a Boys Training Ship. In May of the same year, Commadander Charles L. Lewin, RN, was appointed as the first Carrnander of the ‘Training School. On 18th Novextber 1911 Navy Order No 81 promulgated information that SOBRAON would be renamed TINGIRA. Boys On Deck - Knot Tying Instruction and Practice TINGIRA comtmissioned in the Royal Australian Navy on 25th April 1912 and on 1st June the first batch of 37 boys recruited by New South Wales joined for training. These were followed by drafts from other States to complete the first intake of 100 boys. Entry was limited to boys between the ages of 14 and a half and 16 years. Recruits were bound to serve for seven years following their eighteenth birthday. Minimum height standards varied from 4 feet 10 inches at 14 and a half, to 5 feet 2 inches at 16 years, with chest measurenent 29 inches to 32 inches. The last draft of TINGIRA boys began their training in 1926 and in August that year recruiting of boys ceased. On 30th June 1921 TINGIRA paid off for disposal. In the fifteen years and one month of her RAN commission 2,941 boys were trained in her to take their place as sailors in the Fleet. Tingira remained moored at Garden Island or Rose Bay for her entire naval career.
