From Cremorne Point?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia I think you're right because there is Fort Denison as well. :)

The Sydney Regatta flagship shown is one of the Aberdeen Line's ships, either the Miltiades (built in 1903) or sister Marathon (1904). The photo was taken between 1904 and 1912 when both ships were taken out of service to be lengthened and given a second (dummy) funnel. Both were transferred to the Pacific S N Co's South American service in 1922 and renamed, but scrapped just two years later.

FredV45 Brilliant FredV45 - where do you get your encyclopaedic knowledge?! She is the MARATHON "moored off Cremorne Point". Wednesday 26 January 1910. Read All About It! - ~~trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15511800~~ [Ed. wrong link! see below]

"1887" - Crikey, that's an oldie and a goodie! I wonder if it was a slip-of-the-pen for 1888? Very easy to do at the start of the year. There are multiple articles about the ORIZABA as Flagship for the Centennial Regatta in 1888 (on 27 January), but none for 1887. Hmmm ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Indeed, I researched it to make sure because our records had 1887 as well. But IBERIA was flagship that year, so yes, your suggestion that it was mislabelled is more likely. And yes, I think we've all made that mistake eh? :P But thanks for pointing out the inscription, I hadn't noticed it!

The writing seems to say "Miss Beryl Sidney"?

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) Hi pennyrichardsca, apologies for the delay in replying. Thank you for pointing us to the text. Initial research lead us to believe the image depicted Bery Sidney Haynes. However, this photograph is too early to be her, so it appears that it depicts the theatre actress Beryl Sidney. We are currently researching Sidney and hope to find out more information, especially about this particular event that took place on SS MOLDAVIA II. Thank you again from the curatorial staff at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

She was born on 27 Aug 1900 and married Ronald Angus Coles in Malaya on 4 November 1929 and they had 2 children. She and the children escaped from Singapore just prior to the arrival of the Japanese in 1942 and spent the war in Perth Australia. My father and she divorced and she died of cancer in 14 July 1957. Her full name was Beryl Mary Sidney Myer.
