Robertson Point Lighthouse

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

    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!

    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.

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Sorry to have to disagree again about "first naval fleet" (1891), but this photo is much more recent - the liner looks too modern for 1891. The lighthouse at Bradleys Head was built in 1905 and Robertsons (Cremorne) Point in 1910.

    Looks like a regatta flagship. 1920s or 1930s due to the launches not being steam-powered, if you know what I mean.

    beachcomber australia Done! It was a bit optimistic hoping for more first fleet images...

    The liner is either the Demosthenes or its outwardly identical sister Themistocles, both completed for the Aberdeen Line in 1911, with a yellow funnel. In 1928 both were transferred to the White Star Line Australia service, with the colour scheme of the illustrated ship. The Demosthenes was laid up mid 1931 and soon scrapped. Themistocles survived war service and was not dismantled until 1947. It does indeed seem that the large ship in the photo is the Regatta flagship, and being a pre-WW2 photo it must be dated between 1928 and 1939. So it's more likely that the liner is the Themistocles. nb - the tags to naval ships seem incorrect.
