  Any idea which ship this might be?

  In Sydney Harbour, rather than at sea.

  Evidently she was originally the CYPROMENE, a British wool clipper ship. Built in Southampton, UK 1878 and broken up in 1937. See - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74200004 Changed name and nationality flag in 1904 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/136388189 As the CYPROMENE (different rig) - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/13169

  Not a schooner, look at the foremast rigging--certainly appreciate sharing the photo collection.
