Rusty Ship From 1911, That Even Served In WWII, Was Overtaken By Nature, Becoming A Floating Forest

Only a number of rusting ship hulls remain as a reminder of the bay's past. One of these abandoned vessels is the shipwreck of the SS Ayrfield, which has taken on a new role by becoming one of the main attractions of Homebush Bay as the 'Floating Forest'. The story of the Ayrfield goes back to 1911. The 1140-ton steel ship was built by the Greenock and Grangemouth Dockyard Co.
