    Ah! the SS EKORBMEP at Cheekpoint with a dent in her nose A short time after 23rd February 1899.
  • derangedlemur said:
    SS Pembroke: She operated as a paddle steamer from 1880 to 1895; the following year returning to service with twin screws and new boilers, all this time on the Irish Sea. In 1916 Pembroke was transferred to work from Weymouth as a cargo boat but on 24 September she was attacked by a U-boat so the following January she was fitted with a gun for defence. She was sold for scrap in 1925

    If this is at Cheekpoint, then it was her second - this timedeliberate - grounding after she hit the Saltees on 18th February 1899.

    SS Pembroke aground at Cheekpoint, was apparently a thing. Edit: Too slow and not funny enough again.

    Not "Sydney Harbour" - that has to be Newcastle.

    Possibly from Stockton looking east - GoogleMapsStreetView
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Thank you for correcting that beachcomber. Perhaps this might be TOURAINE in Newcastle in 1913? The hull doesn't seem as white, though this is a dark photograph.

    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...

    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:
