Great photo, not just of the 'Sobraon', but also the Sailors' Home, Commissariat Stores, Oriental Hotel, and all the busy GHOSTS ! And I was fascinated by the blog - link above.

beachcomber australia It is an amazing photo isn't it? Captures a bygone age of Circular Quay. Great to see that photo was popular then as well. Thanks for the information, beachcomber australia! - Kate (Digital Curator)

Yes this is a wonderful photo of 'Sobroan' & Circular Quay in general. Thanks too for the notification of the blog, Find out more about the hunt for TINGIRA’s last resting place on our blog. I will be watching it closely & I hope I can contribute to the research.

Poor Catherine. She lived in deep Poverty. Look at her torn and worn out clothes.
