Sloops at anchor, Rushcutters Bay, Sydney Harbour

  Looking north-west across Rushcutters Bay towards Garden Island from what looks like a sailing club in New Beach Road on Darling Point. Very changed now - GoogleMapsStreetView - maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Sydney+NSW&hl=en&ll=-33...

• beachcomber australia said:

  The 18 footer 'Robin' was visiting from Western Australia and berthed at Rasmussen's Shed at Rushcutters Bay in January 1908 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14923235 . I wonder if this photo is that occasion?

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Well spotted re 'Robin' - amazing find. We have updated the records Beachcomber thanks again!

Launch of the cargo ship 'Highcliffe'

  Unfortunately the ship went aground on 06/02/1940 at Forewick Holm, Papa Stour, Shetlands. No loss of life and the vessel was abandoned to be broken up by the elements.

  Beautiful Shot!
  

• philip ward said:

  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?
