Summary[edit]

Description

HMAS Tingira (formerly Sobraon) moored in Rose Bay. With the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy in 1911 a facility was needed to house and train boys of between 14 ½ and 16 years for a career in the new Navy. The old Sobraon was found to be most suitable for the purpose and in 1911 the ship was purchased by the Federal Government. After being further modified the ship was commissioned into the RAN on 25 April 1912 as HMAS Tingira (aboriginal for ‘open sea’). Anchored in Rose Bay the first batch of 100 boys commenced their training on 1 June 1912. Seventeen months later some members of that intake were amongst 30 ex-Tingira ‘Boys’ serving in HMAS Sydney when she sank the German raider Emden off Cocos Island in November 1914.

Between 1912 and 1927 3168 boys lived and trained on the ship before HMAS Tingira was decommissioned on 27 June 1927. Trainees were then transferred to the newly-established Flinders Naval Depot (HMAS Cerberus) in Victoria. <a href="http://www.sobraontingira.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.sobraontingira.com/</a> , <a href="http://www.aberdeenships.com/single.asp?offset=2360&index=100160" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.aberdeenships.com/single.asp?offset=2360&index=10...</a>
