    It is so pleasing when bits of the jigsaw start to fit together.

Cargo ship ANGLO-CANADIAN anchored off Cremorne Point, Sydney Harbour

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • Szymek S. said:
    Looks like this could be a sister ship of the ill-fated "SS Anglo-Australian," which was lost without trace off the Azores in 1938. According to the official inquiry, the loss of that ship was most likely due to a catastrophic structural failure of the hull which caused her to momentarily break in two. The star and two bands on the funnels of both ships look identical, indicating that they belonged to the same line, and the names are very similar. Anyway, it looks like the"Anglo-Canadian" was luckier than her possible sister.

    My great Uncle David John Williams OBE was captain of the Anglo Canadian through the war up to 1942 when she was sunk by a u boat off the Azores, she had survived numerous convoys and an attack from Japanese planes, The captain a chippie and another crew member carried an unexploded bomb off her which later exploded ashore. Shortly after this she rescued a number of refugees from singapore who had been adrift in a chinese junk named the Sedherana Djohanis, including the current Lord Langford, (100 years old and still tottering on) All thanks to Jncle Jack and the Anglo Canadian.

Robertson Point Lighthouse

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  • beachcomber australia said:
    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.
