I may be wrong, but I don't think that Fort Denison was built on Pittwater and subsequently towed to its present location in Sydney Harbour.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Ian Sanderson Hi Ian, the RPAYC didn't move to Green Point until after the First World War. They were originally based in the centre of Sydney, but decided to move north after Sydney Harbour got too congested. You can read more about the club's history on their website: www.rpayc.com.au/club-information/archives-and-history

The things you learn. In my younger days I spent many happy hours messing about in boats at RPAYC.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Ian Sanderson The club certainly has a long and interesting history. We had the pleasure of visiting the RPAYC a few days ago and decided to share this album so they could view it. Hopefully it recalls some lovely recollections for yourself and many others who have been associated with the club. They are celebrating 150 years in 2017!

Ian Sanderson said:
I don't know where that is, but it is definitely not Green Point on Pittwater.
Andy Brill said:
This is Miller's Point (right), possibly taken from Goat Island or Blues Point.

Apart from the regatta, this is a wonderful and unusual view of the 1895 Dawes Point area and the docks before they were redeveloped into the finger wharves of Walsh Bay. Contemporary interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=...

beachcomber australia A built-up little spot. I wonder how many of those buildings are still around?
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Quite a lot of the buildings in Lower Fort Street and Windmill Street are still there, from that terrace with the seven uneven chimneys south. Almost everything around Walsh Bay and Dawes Point was redeveloped for wharves or the Harbour Bridge. GoogleMapsStreetView - I think the photographer was up the hill behind at McMahons Point, or high up on a ship. See the line-up of the terraces 6th chimney with the Lands Department Tower, neither of which has moved in the last 118 years!
