Description

At sea. Great Australian Bight. c. 1942. Spray covers the bow of the RAN HMAS Moresby as she ploughs through the sea, probably between 1941-12 and 1943, while she was patrolling waters around the Spencer Gulf as an anti-submarine escort vessel. Prior to this, and after 1943, the Moresby served as a survey vessel.
