Ashtray H.M.A.S. Sydney

Historical information

HMAS Sydney was paid off in 1928 and broken up in 1929 and sunk off Sydney Heads. Numerous souvenirs – from fruit and nut bowls, ash trays, match holders, tobacco jars and paperweights to specially framed prints of the Sydney – were fashioned from teak and other wood fittings salvaged from the Sydney before she was scuttled.
