SS Ayrfield (launched as SS Corrimal) One of several wrecks still located in Homebush Bay. A steel-hulled steam collier weighing 1140 tonnes and 79m long, it was built in the UK in 1911 and registered in Sydney in 1912. It was commissioned by the Commonwealth Government for the transportation of supplies to American troops stationed in the pacific regions during WWII. In 1951, it was renamed SS Ayrfield and operated as a collier between Newcastle and Sydney. By 1972, the hull had been broken up and ended up in Homebush Bay.
