There was an excellent book published in 2003 called 'Greycliffe: Stolen Lives" by Steve Brew. Copies would be available through selected Australian libraries.

"1887" - Crikey, that's an oldie and a goodie! I wonder if it was a slip-of-the-pen for 1888? Very easy to do at the start of the year. There are multiple articles about the ORIZABA as Flagship for the Centennial Regatta in 1888 (on 27 January), but none for 1887. Hmmm ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Indeed, I researched it to make sure because our records had 1887 as well. But IBERIA was flagship that year, so yes, your suggestion that it was mislabelled is more likely. And yes, I think we've all made that mistake eh? :P But thanks for pointing out the inscription, I hadn't noticed it!

Prince Alfred Yacht Club Regatta

Ian Sanderson said:
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.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
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
Ian Sanderson said:
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!
