    Bradleys Head and the city behind - I think this is the US Fleet leaving Sydney on 6 August 1925. Read all about it - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16213029
  • Andrew McGeechan said:
    Theses are both "New Mexico" class battleships, the first US battleships that had individually elevating gun barrels. USS NEW MEXICO (BB40), USS MISSISSIPPI (BB41) and USS IDAHO (BB 42) The third in the class even survived into the 1950's as a test platform for guided missiles !
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

    The background shows that this series of photos was taken on No 2 or 3 Wharf at Circular Quay, not Garden Island.
