Summary
[edit]DescriptionHMAS TORRENS I being used as a gunnery target off Sydney Heads (8661185071).jpg |
English: Having served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1916, latterly as a training platform for the Naval Reserve, HMAS TORRENS I was decommissioned and prepared as a target for Fleet Gunnery Practice. On 24 November 1930 Samuel J Hood, who was probably on board HMAS ANZAC, photographed the sinking of TORRENS off Sydney Heads. TORRENS can be seen with the tug HEROIC on the right in the background. The smoke billowing out of the vessel possibly indicates the moment after the final gelignite charges, laid by the crew of HMAS CANBERRA, were detonated. This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century. |
