    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good things happen in the wee small hours ... It's good to know the date 18 August 1914 - right at the beginning of WW1, when "it'll all be over by Christmas" was the prevailing thought.

    those women standing straight, the man with the big handkerchief, presumably saying goodbye to his son... so touching
  • lindsaybridge said:
    Yes, touching. Also this picture shows Central Railway Station, Sydney, before electrification. Platform 16 was extended on the City Underground in 1926.

    FLAG DAY, June 14, 1912: The ship "Finland" was chartered by the U. S. Olympic Committee to carry the American Olympic Team to the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. It departed New York harbor on June 14, 1912 (the scene photographed above), and served as training and living quarters for the team as it crossed the Atlantic and during the games as well, when it was stationed in Stockholm harbor as a floating hotel. Story in the New York Times, February 27, 1912, discussing plans for the voyage: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9905E0D6173CE6...
