    Circular Quay west and The Rocks in the background, from about the northern end of the 'toaster'.

    Interesting to compare with -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It seems a strange place to anchor. Anyone have any ideas about the ship?
  • Dale said:
    Pax or Military? She has a line aft to the buoy/caisson, three boats alongside, another next to the foremast. Aft gunports (wardroom?) open, but no other gunports visible. Lastly is that a white ensign on the gaff peak? Might be an important visitor.

    Woo Hoo! The Great God of Google Speaks Again ... she is the JOHN DUTHIE (built Aberdeen 1864) Somebody blackpoolbeach on Flickr recently posted this tip - when using Google Chrome, open the photo in largest size, right click and select "Search Google for this image", which opens a new page with links to the same or similar photos. So when I tried it on this photo this happened - www.google.com.au/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZivIB4ozXClmzNMiuzzV... ... and the first link to this page mcjazz.f2s.com/DuthieShipyards.htm which has this photo plus these details -
    ‘JOHN DUTHIE’ Built 1864. Iron ship of 1031 Tons. Length; 196 ft. Breadth; 34.7 ft. Depth; 21.8 ft. Built by Duthie of Aberdeen for themselves. Master; Captain Levi. She was placed in the Australian passenger trade in which she proved popular. [Passenger liner] Hall, Alex. , & Co. , 40 York st. Hall, Russell & Co., Litn., York street

    Those pistols seem a little surplus to requirments with those two Lewis gun teams on deck !!.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    philip ward I think it's safe to say that this shot is very posed! Not convinced that they were aiming at anything in particular besides providing a good propaganda photo...
  • Acrid Home said:
    Given there are no spent cartridges on the deck I would agree its posed. Free State Government had a very good Propaganda Department alright.

    Likely Webley revolvers?
