Great Moments in OH&S ! The 'Kulgoa' was built in 1905, 42.6 metres, 1255 passengers (preferably not all on one side!). (ref. Graeme Andrews - 'Pictorial History of Ferries', Reed,1982). From the ladies' frocks and hats, I would say pre WW1.

beachcomber australia OH&S indeed! Thank you for that information beachcomberaustralia, our records have been updated.

Full details of the 'Kulgoa' when new - Australian Town and Country Journal 18/01/1905 p.39, col.4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/5711140 . Including this -
" The Kulgoa's moulded beam is 3ft 6in more than the Koree ... ... This will be found a considerable advantage when carrying large numbers of passengers, more particularly when the passengers get on one side [ ! ]. The resistance being so much greater, the vessel will not heel over, as is the case with other steamers. "

Great photo, not just of the 'Sobraon', but also the Sailors' Home, Commissariat Stores, Oriental Hotel, and all the busy GHOSTS ! And I was fascinated by the blog - link above.
beachcomber australia said:
That "1871" date rang a bell - sure enough the same image is in the volume of photos taken by Charles Pickering under the supervision of James Barnet, sent to the Foreign Office in the UK as a record of progress in the NSW colony. See -

beachcomber australia It is an amazing photo isn't it? Captures a bygone age of Circular Quay. Great to see that photo was popular then as well. Thanks for the information, beachcomber australia! - Kate (Digital Curator)

Yes this is a wonderful photo of 'Sobroan' & Circular Quay in general. Thanks too for the notification of the blog, Find out more about the hunt for TINGIRA’s last resting place on our blog. I will be watching it closely & I hope I can contribute to the research.
