Product Information

HMAS Sydney's hunt for the German raider, Emden. In the opening months of the First World War, Emden s trail of destruction was tremendous. This one small ship and her skilled and gallant captain wrought havoc on the maritime trade of the British Empire, capturing and sinking ships at will.
