SOBRAON at Queen's Wharf, Circular Quay, February 1871

    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.

    That "1871" date rang a bell - sure enough the same image is in the volume of photos taken by Charles Pickering under the supervision of James Barnet, sent to the Foreign Office in the UK as a record of progress in the NSW colony. See -

    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.

    SMH article from 1933 talking specifically about this photo. Full of information on the 'Sobraon' - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16959416 (found when looking for something else, as usual)

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

    You can see her top is pinned together to make up for the missing buttons.
