It was sunk by a German ship in World War 2. The German ship was called the Kolomoran. The Kolomoran was disguised as a Dutch ship. The HMAS Sydney came closer to have a look. Too close. The Germans hoisted up a German flag, and the battle started. It was a short battle. The Germans fired two torpedoes. One missed and the other one hit the bow. It was all too much for the Sydney. The last sighting of her was her, chugging over the horizon, smoke billowing from her bow.
