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 31st May&1st 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.
