beachcomber australia said:
" HMS Undine was an schooner gunboat of the Royal Navy. Built as the private yacht Morna by Camper and Nicholsons, Gosport and launched in 1869. The schooner was purchased by the Royal Navy on 15 March 1881 and was renamed Undine. Commenced service on the Australia Station from September 1883 and carried out patrol work and worked as a tender to the flagship HMS Nelson. She was sold in Sydney in April 1888 and was renamed Ruby by her new owners. Ruby was wrecked at Escape Pass in the King George Sound, Western Australia on 25 March 1890.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that Fort Denison was built on Pittwater and subsequently towed to its present location in Sydney Harbour.

Ian Sanderson Hi Ian, the RPAYC didn't move to Green Point until after the First World War. They were originally based in the centre of Sydney, but decided to move north after Sydney Harbour got too congested. You can read more about the club's history on their website: www.rpayc.com.au/club-information/archives-and-history

The things you learn. In my younger days I spent many happy hours messing about in boats at RPAYC.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Ian Sanderson The club certainly has a long and interesting history. We had the pleasure of visiting the RPAYC a few days ago and decided to share this album so they could view it. Hopefully it recalls some lovely recollections for yourself and many others who have been associated with the club. They are celebrating 150 years in 2017!
