An educated guess - that is the Orient Line LUSITANIA bottom right. Compare the bow, anchor, rigging, davitts, and figurehead with - Megazoom at PhM - from.ph/30572

beachcomber australia Good point re LUSITANIA, a bit difficult to tell. Although on closer inspection it appears to be washing day on deck there..? We LOVED the Petty's Hotel montage! The Fawlty Towers music was a nice touch :) As you mention, it must have been a favourite with photographers, who also seemed to loved capturing it from the same corner!

This photo was taken after 1883. On the Saturday night of 12th Nov 1883, there was a fire between Lower George St & Pitt St just south of Queens Wharf, next to the Commissariat Stores. The fire destroyed the old 1820s counting house of Berry & Wollstonecraft, which was next south to Mary Reibey's house. In the 1870s Lower George St had become an enclave of Chinese merchants. In the picture, above, John Cowper has put a box around the PS Brighton. In the top left hand corner in that box, you can see the remains of the wall of Berry & Wollstonecraft's counting house, here in this picture was occupied by Sun Kum On Importer. The story is on the previous page. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/...

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I think you would have been able to see that witch's hat spire, unless blocked by the ASN Co, tower, but it was not yet built. I am thinking about 1890 for the date The GPO tower seems to be see-thru with open staircases, and no 1891 clock. I tried to post a GoogleMapsStreetView for comparison, but it is not currently letting me copy the link. Something to do with my trying the New Google Maps which is nearly as much of a nightmare as the New Flickr, but at least with the option to go back!

I am not sure whether this was taken from Milsons Point or McMahons Point, very close to that 'Leddicott' house. Leaning towards the latter due to the alignment of the terrace in Fort Street (see note).

1895 interactive map- www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=... Nautical navigation expert required!

Second thoughts - this is definitely from Milsons Point, from about where the northern pylon for the Harbour Bridge is now - see the alignment of the pointy bits on the ASNCo building at Circular Quay west - GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/i40Kg

That has got to join up with, if not an exact panorama - from the Hill & Clark warehouse -

And I reckon she is the ORIENT even more now! The bridge / wheelhouse looks just like -
beachcomber australia said:
And I am 90% sure that lifebelt says "ORIENT GLASGOW" (see note). Apologies - getting too EXCITED. It is great to see all the detail of this wonderful ship so close up - the sailors in the bosun's chairs, the fellow scaring seagulls, etc, etc !!
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Glad you enjoyed! The fuller picture of Circular Quay is coming together. We agree that this is almost certainly ORIENT.
