Is this not Berrys Bay ? Blues Point on the left & Balls Head on the right ? Looks like from the BP Oil storage site ? Col

colinbm I get very muddled with the various name changes to these bays - Kerosene/Oyster/Berrys etc. You might be The Man to sort it all out ! Leave comments with an equivalent GoogleMapsStreetView if possible. This photo is ca.1890 - "No.1" shows the GPO tower without the clock, which was installed in 1891. And before the North Shore railway line to Milsons Point was opened in 1893.

colinbm You are right - it is Berrys Bay. The photographer Henry King marked it wrong, unless the place or name has changed over the years. GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/670JW

Shouldn't that be "single _masted_ vessel", as in having one mast? All vessels have only one "master", the ship's captain. The vessel's mainmast appears to be missing, leaving only the mizzen.

I agree with the curator's comment at the persistent URL that this shipo is a coal loader, therefore it is unlikely to any longer be a passenger vessel.
FL JAGER said:
it does appear to have been loaded with coal at the time of this photo but this ship had previously been a navy ship, notice the gun deck port hole covers have cut-outs for the cannons...

It is probably a former frigate hulked for use as a fuelling jetty. HMS Warrior, now preserved at Portsmouth, UK, only survived to today because she remained in use as an oiling jetty until her historical value was recognised and she was rescued. Please add to: Naval History
