beachcomber australia He does look a bit like him! :-)

I wonder if he was the "Lone Straggler" who missed the Fleet's departure due to 'Whisky' - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16213048

beachcomber australia Haha! That's great, a colourful story. Great use of the term 'recovery'. :)

United States Navy and Royal Australian Navy ships in Sydney Harbour

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

andy a said:
The four evenly-spaced, raked funnels of the ship in the left-centre and the long fo'c'sle are characteristic of earlier generations of British-built light cruiser. Possibly HMAS Sydney or HMAS Melbourne? Four-funnelled American cruisers had two groups of 2 funnels, a short fo'c'sle and a short quarterdeck.

andy a Thank you again for your observations! We have put this info into our database. :)

Hospital ship USS RELIEF in Sydney Harbour, July 1925

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

beachcomber australia said:
I think this might be the US hospital ship 'Relief'.
beachcomber australia said:
Yes! See - USS 'Relief' (AH-1)
beachcomber australia said:
" At the end of the long procession of battleships came a smaller ship, built on entirely different lines, and painted white. One knew at once that this was the hospital ship Relief. Coming after the great male battleships in their uniform of war grey, she lent a touch of feminine interest to the array. She carried an irresistible suggestion of an hospital nurse in uniform. "

beachcomber australia Ha! That's an interesting use of terminology there. Well spotted beachcomber, it must be USS RELIEF.
