Description
A floating crane raising one of the three Japanese Midget Submarines which attacked shipping in Sydney Harbour on the night of 31 May 1942. This is probably Midget Submarine No. 14 which was trapped in the anti-submarine boom at the entrance to Sydney Harbour and was destroyed when the crew detonated the demolition charge.
