trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16106479 - this pic appeared in the SMH on 10th March, 1924...it was evidently one of a number of photos of sailing on Sydney Harbour that Hall & Co were sending to London for display at the British Empire Exhibition...for what it's worth, the SMH had the pic the other way around...
