Stateships

Kybra was built in 1926 by Coaster Construction in Montrose, commissioned by the State Shipping Service of Western Australia. The vessel was 204 feet 2.5 inches (62.243 m) long, 31 feet 1 inch (9.47 m) wide, and had a draught of 14 feet 8 inches (4.47 m). The crew consisted of 20 sailors. She was powered by a six-cylinder diesel engine made by the Swiss company Sulzer Brothers in Winterthur and had a single propeller, giving a top speed of 10.5 knots (19.4 km/h; 12.1 mph). The gross register tonnage of the ship was 858 tons. She could take 34 passengers.[3]

The vessel was launched on 13 January 1926, and sailed from Scotland to Australia where it arrived on 27 May. She was mainly used on the south coast of Western Australia.[4]

In the 1930s the ship was required to be serviced in South Australia.[5]

World War II

In 1940 the RAN commandeered the vessel as HMAS Kybra (FY90), and she was given over to the command of Lieutenant Commander Basil T. Brewster. She served as an auxiliary patrol and anti-submarine training ship.[6][7]

After the war she was returned to the State Shipping Service (on 10 November 1945[1]) and was used on routes in the north west of Western Australia in the 1950s.[8]

Kybra was scrapped at Kalibaru, Indonesia, in April 1968.[3]
