RMS FRANCONIA at West Circular Quay in Sydney

    Woo Hoo! Close enough? - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16359580 She arrived in Sydney on Saturday 5 March 1927 on a world cruise. First visit, and because the bridge isn't far advanced in this photo, it cannot be later. If you see what I mean! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Franconia_(1922)
  • FredV45 said:
    I fully agree - well done!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia FredV45 You have to be right, because wasn't the arches of the bridge constructed in 1929ish? Which would mean the only thing that would be constructed in 1927, would be section leading up to the pylons.

RMS FRANCONIA at Circular Quay in Sydney

  • beachcomber australia said:
    She was a good looking ship. It was Saturday 5 March 1927. See comments on next photo.
  • FredV45 said:
    Franconia was built in 1923 and visited Sydney five times on world cruises between 1927 and 1939. She also called once during Word War 2, in January 1941 to pick up troops: a summer time voyage in austere conditions on a crowded ship built for the North Atlantic must have been an ordeal in itself. Franconia survived the War and was scrapped in 1956.
