  I think this is the lighthouse (surely not a buoy?) near the Sow and Pigs Reef - GoogleMapsSatellite

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Hmm yep looks like the one! Thanks for spotting, it's a tiny dot on google maps!

• beachcomber australia said:

  Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes it is a tiny dot - I think there is another light at the other end of the reef, see the next photo far left.
  
  I like this photo so much, I have had it as my desktop background all weekend. Your royalty cheque is in the mail ...

  beachcomber australia Isn't it beautiful! We are loving the gradual discovery of the Hall collection.

DAHLGREN (LOC)

  According to wikipedia: Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Dahlgren for John A. Dahlgren. * The USS Dahlgren (TB-9), was a torpedo boat, commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1919. * The USS Dahlgren (DD-187), was a Clemson-class destroyer commissioned in 1920, served in World War II and decommissioned in 1945. * The USS Dahlgren (DDG-43), was a Coontz-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1961 and decommissioned in 1992. I assume that the boat in the LOC photo is the first choice above -- a torpedo boat commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1910. That boat sure doesn't look very sturdy!

  Dahlgren appears in this list of ships from the 1912 review: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html The railings off the stern there look rather like some you see on some submarines.
