Sunk Australian WWII Cruiser Found

The Hunt for HMAS Sydney - Video Extras

possibly a more clear video, some nice news coverage back in mid-march of the Sydney, last word in several days they are going back to the site of the Kormoran .......

 

cool .........

10 hours of video footage of the Kormoran and her debris field was taken yesterday, More imagery should be uploaded to www.Findingsydney.com.au shortly as most of the local media outlets have the video already.

The Geosounder will be returning to Geraldton port by 9am tomorrow moring, about 12hours from now, and a press conference will be held in Perth at the Western Australian Maritime Muesem on Thursday at half 12.

A service will be held for the familys of the crew on the 16th over the wreck site on HMAS Anzac.

I will post some high res photos when Kormorans become avaliable to me.

Cheers

D.

provided by the Sydney foundation for downloads here is a larger view of one of the Sydneys turrets. Note the 150mm round hit a devastating shot, one of the reasons possibly the Sydney never had a chance of survival, another photo shows numerous hits to the side, and base of another turret
