    I think the large clipper ship is the 'Great Victoria' built in France in 1854, rebuilt in 1864. (ref jamesobrien.id.au/genealogy/james-obrien-and-mary-smith/g... )

    The clipper ship is sitting where the Manly ferry jetty will be built, transferring from west Circular Quay in 1891.

    From the sign on the Mort warehouse saying "DAY" (as in many happy returns of the ... ), I think this is - The Centennial, Anniversary Day. Thursday 26 January 1888. See notes and comments on this photo -

    Apologies, I was wrong two years ago about the 'Great Victoria'. The ship is the Torridon, evidenced by this from the SMH 27/1/1888 p.5 column 6, under subtitle "The Harbour" - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1391422?zoomLevel=5 Relevant text - ... " Of the sailing ships the Torridon, lying opposite Mort's stores, besides her bunting, was decorated with plenty of evergreens. A miniature triumphal arch was erected in the gangway, and fore and aft on her port side she was most prettily decorated. Captain Shepherd seemed quite proud (and properly so) of his fine vessel, but takes no credit to himself. He lays all the "blame" to his second mate. "

    The 'Torridon' left for London in March 1888 with - " EXPORTS.- MARCH 12. Torridon, ship, for London : 7200 bales wool, 38 bags ore, 7 cases pearlshell, 24 bales leather, 12 casks gluten, 4 casks glue, 195 hides, 23,330 horns, 10 tons shank-bones, 19 packages effects, and sundries. " SMH 13/3/1888 p.6 col.1 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13670318 NB - Not to be confused (as I did) with the 'Loch Torridon' - 4 masts - a more famous ship.

    I was reading today that they had a huge celebration from the August 6th to 11th 1913 for the "Centennial Celebration" and it was a smashing success. It's very nice to see all these citizens of Hamilton coming out to celebrate together.
