I think this is the pointy end of the ship. Southerly breeze by the ferry smoke and the way the ships are facing. Sometime after 1932 (Harbour Bridge).

Hmm. Thinking this might be from Cremorne Point looking west-ish towards Kurraba Point (?)

These more elevated Stanton Library pics show the same foreshore: trove.nla.gov.au/work/239785325 trove.nla.gov.au/work/239785322 trove.nla.gov.au/work/190080674 - a couple of the houses on the West side of Baden Rd also appear in this 1932 NLA Fairfax Collection pic...

The lighthouse was built in 1909 - lighthouses.org.au/nsw/robertson-point-lighthouse/
It is looking brand spanking new here; and it looks like the "mains electricity" mentioned in the site above, is not yet connected; no poles and wires.

[Aside] I drank a bottle of bubbly with a friend on the lower level back in the 1980s. Probably why access is prevented now!

Thanks beachcomber australia ! And 😄

A favourite spot 50+ years ago - a girl, a blanket, and just watching the world go by. There was a steel ladder down the cliff at that time, and access was easy. Surprisng how much activity there was on the Harbour at night.

Evidently the accident happened on 31/12/1918 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15818215

This photo is likely on 6/1/1919 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15818947

CREMORNE FERRY SERVICE.
The Cremorne ferry service, which has been disorganised during the past week, owing to the sinking of the pontoon at the Cremorne wharf, will be resumed to-day [7/1/1919].
The pontoon has been refloated, and a temporary structure, which will be utilised until the damaged one is repaired, was placed into position yesterday.

Thanks beachcomber australia - it's quite a sight
