HMAS Sydney II Documentary

Welcome to the Finding Sydney website, created by HMAS Sydney Search Pty Ltd (Sydney Search) as Trustee for the Finding Sydney Foundation and maintained by the Naval Association of Australia.

The Finding Sydney Foundation was formed to find the Royal Australian Navy light cruiser HMAS Sydney (II), lost in action with all hands during November 1941.

Sydney Search found the wreckage of HMAS Sydney on the 16th March 2008, allowing closure to the families of those lost. The foundation plans to further commemorate the missing crew.

The Directors of the Foundation are unpaid volunteers.
