  •  The Wrecks of Homebush Bay

    Parts of Homebush Bay were once used as a ship-breaking yard.

    In 1966, approval for a ship-breaking yard was granted by the
    Maritime Services Board to several private companies. These
    companies paid a monthly fee. Vessels were moored in the bay, ready
    for breaking-up ashore. In 1970, the MSB constructed a ramp for
    this purpose.

    There are at least four ships’ hulls and the remains of
    several barges and smaller vessels visible in Homebush Bay. The
    wrecks still visible are the colliers Ayrfield and Mortlake Bank,
    the tug Heroic, the steel boom defence vessel HMAS Karangi, at
    least one other smaller vessel and some barges, lighters and
    dredges.
