Possibly one of the Commonwealth Government Line 'BAY' cargo liners

A nice atmospheric photo but the caption needs some review. This is not a photo of the Moldavia (b. 1922) but one of the five "Bay" cargo-passenger liners - the yellow funnel and the single promenade deck gave it away for me. The Australian Government had this quintet built in the UK in a vain attempt to break into the trade between the UK and Australia. All five ships were built in 1921-22 and the Commonwealth Government Line soon sold to the British Kylsant shipping Group! The most famous was the "Jervis Bay", sunk in a heroic action in WW2 (5 Nov 1940). The other four lasted until the mid 1950s. It also seems to be the ship is not anchored but berthed, perhaps at one of the Walsh Bay wharves, and there is no sign of it being in festive dress as the Regatta flagship.

FredV45 It's interesting you point that out FredV45 because a few other photographs in the same series had been mislabelled RMS MOLDAVIA as well. Thank you for pointing out the innacuracy. The photograph below was also mislabelled MOLDAVIA:

Wonderful photo. When ... c.1905 ?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Hmmm, the women's clothing certainly suggests a date pre 1912, definitely post 1900 so c 1905 is a good guess. We have so many Anniversary Regatta photographs that all the flagships are melding into one. I feel like I've seen this vessel before.

beachcomber australia Cracked! New info from a learned observer has identified the vessel and the date! :)

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Wonderful - how useful to have a "learned observer"! I am going to vote for 1898, because in 1899 the KÖNIGIN LUISE was "moored off Neutral Bay" instead of previous years' courses near Lavender Bay. This photo looks like it is nearer Lavender Bay. 1898 Anniversary Day Regatta report - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14160588 1899 Anniversary Day Regatta report - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14197303
