    beachcomber australia Ack - you did better than I could! All I could make out was a 'T', 'L' and 'D'. I think you've got the last five letters right -'field'. The flag looks like J&J Denholm.

    I've just stumbled upon a Spurling image of NEOTSFIELD which looks very like this photo. NEOTSFIELD (1889 - 1917), 1,894 registered tons, length 269ft 6in, beam 40ft 1in, depth 22ft 7in. Constructed of iron, built by A. McMillan, Dumbarton, for F.H. Dangar's Sydney firm of Dangar, Gedye & Co. She was intended for the wool trade and initially sailed in this trade from Sydney. In 1902, she was sold to R.Thomas & Co. and put in the nitrate trade from from the West Coast of Latin America to Europe. She could not equal the passages of the crack German nitrate clippers. In 1907/08 she took 122 days from Taltal, Chile, to Hamburg, and in 1910 she took 141 days from Tortugas Island, Mexico, to the Lizard.. In 1916, she went from New York to Melbourne in 130 days.She was sold again in early 1917. In June 1917, she was stopped by a German submarine 112 miles south-west of Bishop's Rock, Scilly Islands - the crew were given time to leave the ship in their boats and she was sunk by explosive charges. .

    The S.S. "Erringhi" was built for the Williams River Steam Navigation Co. at Clarence Town in the Hunter Valley in 1907. She was built by Shipwright Andrew Smith at a site adjacent to "Deptford" Shipyard on the Williams River.

    I think this is Brooklyn, NSW. Railway mainline on the left, Dangar Island behind. See Google MapsStreetView - maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Brooklyn,+NSW,+Australia&hl=...

    The ferry on the right looks to me like the SS 'Phoenix'. Built 1899 for the NSW Public Works Department as a tug and staff ferry - later moved to the Hawkesbury as a ferry with altered superstructure. See comments and links here - And also this image at Brooklyn c.1910 - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/album/ItemViewer.aspx?itemid=823320&am...

    beachcomber australia I think you're right this looks like Brooklyn with Dangar Island behind, great work! Though I am not sure if that vessel is PHOENIX as the lettering on the top deck of the vessel is quite different, notice how there is lettering either side of the central lettering?
