Sydney Under Japanese Attack 1942, Anniversary Cruise – Sunday 1st. June 2025

Members, partners, & friends.

The 1942 Japanese midget submarine attack on ships in Sydney Harbour remains a topical subject. However, many Sydneysiders know little about this watershed event. It was the first attack on Sydney and its impact changed Australia from a quiet backwater of the Second World War to a vital springboard for the defeat of Japan.

This cruise will provide a detailed description of events leading up to and during the attack.

Your cruise boat will take you to sites on the Harbour where key events occurred and a comprehensive description of how those events during the fateful night of 31^st May&1^st June 1942 unfolded. The story will be told by expert narrators from the Naval Historical Society of Australia.

A comprehensive commentary is provided supported by information and photos on TVs to bring the commentary to life. Every passenger will receive a complementary booklet with detailed information and photos as a souvenir.

Come join the cruise to learn more detail about that incredible night.
