SS Ayrfield Wreck by

The SS Ayrfield, one of many ships resting in Homebush Bay, west of Sydney. Built in 1911 in the UK, and registered at Sydney in 1912.

It was purchased by the Australian Commonwealth Government and used to transport supplies to American troops in the Pacific region during WWII. For about 20 years after, served commercially. Then in 1972 the registration of Ayrfield was cancelled, and sent to homebush bay for it’s final resting place.

Homebush Bay, Auburn, New South Wales, Australia.
