Summary

Description
English: HMAS SYDNEY is seen mooring against the backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge after returning from the Mediterranean Sea and service with the 7th Cruiser Squadron. Visible on SYDNEY's port side is the geometric, dazzle paint scheme that was put on immediately after the Cape Spada action against Italian cruiser BARTOLOMEO COLLEONI. The arrival of this battle-weary ship was recorded by Cinesound and Fox Movietone, both of whose vans can be seen in the foreground.

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.
The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly.
