About SS Ayrfield
The SS Ayrfield was a steel-hulled cargo ship that was built in Scotland, United Kingdom and was registered in Sydney, Australia in 1912. It was in service for 60 years before becoming a mangrove as it remained aground on Homebush Bay in Western Sydney. Known as a "floating forest", the ship has been reclaimed by dense stands of trees whose branches cascade over its sides, and gradually break down the hull. It is the most popular of the abandoned freighters found in the Parramatta River, with the other lesser known ones being the SS Heroic, HMAS Karangi, and SS Mortlake Bank.
