    How can this photo have been "taken March 6, 2013"? Perhaps an image was scrapped on that date. The USS Pennsylvania was scrapped by sinking in 1948.

    A few extracts from the Wiki record of the Pennsylvania she was a very distinguished ship when she was decommissioned! She was laid down on 27 October 1913, by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia.[1] She was launched on 16 March 1915, sponsored by Elizabeth Kolb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and commissioned on 12 June 1916, with Captain Henry B. Wilson in command. She departed with the Fleet from San Francisco on 15 April 1925, and after war games in the Hawaiian area, departed Honolulu, Hawaii on 1 July, en route to Melbourne, Australia. After a visit to Wellington, New Zealand, she returned to San Pedro on 26 September.

SS ZEPHYR possibly on Swan River, Western Australia

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • Nev said:
    There are a lot of online photos of SS Zephyr at the State Library of Western Australia. I have found many newspaper references on the Trove website as well. Zephyr operated on the Swan River well into the late 1930s it would seem. As well as operating as an excursion ferry on the Swan, it also made regular trips to Rottnest Island. Remarkably in February 1908 there is a detailed account of an ocean excursion from Perth to Rockingham, which is some 45 km south of Perth on the coast trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/77335752

    The SS Zephyr operated regularly to Rottenest Island and later Garden Island until the 1960's. It eventually sank or was scuttled in the mouth of the Canning River. Rowan Holgate
  • Rowan Holgate said:
    SS Zephyr was built in Brisbane and eventually steamed to Fremantle.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Rowan Holgate Thanks Rowan - by any chance did you have a connection with the vessel? If so, it would good to follow-up with you. You can email web@anmm.gov.au if you'd like to pass on any other information directly. We love hearing about personal stories.
