[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Fantastic research! I am sidetracked by Colonel A Spain though, particularly as my first thought was that the man second from right holding the programme, was him instead. This photo in particular looks like him. This photo also looks like him, more so than the man to the left. Plus this album is also interesting. See photo 12, caption says '[Colonel Bruxner, Judge Alfred Paxton Backhouse, the Captain and Colonel A.Spain and party at the Anniversary Regatta, 1937]'. Judge Backhouse is third from left in bowler hat, Colonel Bruxner is second from left, the Captain centre and then Colonel A Spain second from right. Regarding it being a regatta flagship, we thought so too, not just because of the presence of VIPs, but because of the flags in the background. By the way, great spotting in terms of the programme!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Hmmm, it is difficult to be sure especially as it is only his profile visible in this pic. It's interesting also in the pic you linked to, do you think the man to his left looks a bit like the man we thought was Spain in our pic? I think that probably the case re the yachties! :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice one!! I also thought the bow-tie chap was D.L. (Douglas) Dowdell based on the links you provided. Same look really. Also think you may be correct re Evans, Thorne and Garlick. Well done!! Records updated. :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] thanks for sharing the extra pics! Great to see more newspapers being digitised. I'm excited by all the new information that will become available and all the photographs that will therefore be unlocked :) So great to identify faces within our collection, thank you so much quasymody!

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Sorry to have to disagree again about "first naval fleet" (1891), but this photo is much more recent - the liner looks too modern for 1891. The lighthouse at Bradleys Head was built in 1905 and Robertsons (Cremorne) Point in 1910.

Looks like a regatta flagship. 1920s or 1930s due to the launches not being steam-powered, if you know what I mean.

beachcomber australia Done! It was a bit optimistic hoping for more first fleet images...

The liner is either the Demosthenes or its outwardly identical sister Themistocles, both completed for the Aberdeen Line in 1911, with a yellow funnel. In 1928 both were transferred to the White Star Line Australia service, with the colour scheme of the illustrated ship. The Demosthenes was laid up mid 1931 and soon scrapped. Themistocles survived war service and was not dismantled until 1947. It does indeed seem that the large ship in the photo is the Regatta flagship, and being a pre-WW2 photo it must be dated between 1928 and 1939. So it's more likely that the liner is the Themistocles. nb - the tags to naval ships seem incorrect.
