English: This image depicts SS Autolycus leaving wharf no. 2, eastern side Circular Quay, Sydney. Family and friends appear on the wharf holding streamers to Autolycus. The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ratings are in the 'square rig' standing on the deck. A local pilot on the bridge of Autolycus wears a trilby hat. At 11am on 13 May 1939, 234 RAN ratings and officers commissioned for HMAS Perth left Sydney aboard the Blue Funnel steamship Autolycus. The ship called at Hobart and Melbourne to pick up more men before arriving in Portsmouth, United Kingdom on 29 June. She had carried 500 men. One officer described the conditions on board the over-packed vessel, saying that despite the "grim quarters" many of the sailors "accepted the situation" and maintained a high morale in light of the fact that for some, it was their first voyage out to sea. |
