Summary

Description
English: On 13 February 1938 a crowd of spectators onboard the ferry RODNEY were farewelling the USS LOUISVILLE in Sydney Harbour. It was top heavy and as passengers ran to one side of the ferry it capsized off Bradleys Head. Over 200 people were onboard, and 19 people drowned, with LOUISVILLE participating in the rescue efforts. RODNEY was raised and renamed REGALIA.
