Details of the 'Nestor' when new - SMH 14/1/1913 p.10 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15390253 " The NESTOR [Blue Funnel Line] of 1913 had a long and busy life. During World War I she was a troopship for the Australian Expeditionary Force, and in World War II evacuated British children to Australia. She completed her final round voyage to Australia in 1950 and was broken up at Faslane. " from iancoombe.tripod.com/id25.html Interesting to see in this postcard album that by 1916 the Blue Funnel had been painted out - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=447918# Evidently the funnel was the "highest ever built" -

Red Herring alert - the Blue Funnel Line / Ocean Steamship Co. began in 1865 and eventually became Singapore Airlines amongst other companies. www.oceanlinermuseum.co.uk/Ocean%20Steamship%20Company%20...

beachcomber australia Wow beachcomber thanks for all that info! Locating the bell is always fantastic, & we have updated our records to note where it is. Barnes seems to have had an interest in snapping the troopships as they left Melbourne, but I think this one was special as it carried his son away to war.

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, I am amazed Barnes managed to keep the camera steady, especially as he would have known the Great War was not a 'great big adventure' by October 1915. I would have been all choked up with emotion. Btw I just noticed that the 11 October was yesterday when you posted this to Flickr - intentional or just spooky?
