Interesting photo and background story. Sorry to have a small quibble - this is not at Garden Island but East Circular Quay (wharf 2?) where the 'Mariposa' was docked. The angle of the Harbour Bridge towers, and the proximity is shown by this GoogleMapsSatellite 3D view which is fun to twiddle with - www.google.com/maps/@-33.8593544,151.2142311,42a,35y,345....
And the shipping records -

And a photo of the floating crane 'Titan' lifting the plane off the ship. Sam Hood must have been on the 'Mariposa' - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/237475637?searchTerm=m... -
