RMS ORVIETO of Belfast, leaving Sydney for London

  • Sunglint Photography said:
    I have an original watercolour painting of RMS Orvieto that has been in the family a long time, and have taken an interest in her for years. Always keen to find more photos of her! They don't build ships like this any more.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Sunglint Photography They certainly are classic vessels aren't they! ORVIETO is an impressive example, perfect subject for a painting :)

HMS NEW ZEALAND at naval buoy number 1 Farm Cove

  • Trainiac said:
    Appears to have all its wartime modifications, the larger bridge structure the most obvious. On its post war first visit to New Zealand I'd say.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Trainiac I think you are right, HMS NEW ZEALAND spent some time in Sydney in mid-1919 during a world tour, and that is probably the time that this image was taken.
  • Horatio J. Kookaburra said:
    This will be July 1919 when NEW ZEALAND brought Admiral Lord Jellicoe to Australia in the course of his world tour preparing a report for the British Admiralty on the future of the Dominion Navies [that is, largely whether they should be developed as national navies or enfolded in an Empire defence arrangement as branches of the Royal Navy. A very wise, far-seeing and decent man, Jellicoe recommended the former]. [Please note I am searching for a companion image here where I brain-fadedly identified the Indefatigable Class battlecruiser - with Union Jack on her flagstaff - as sistership HMAS AUSTRALIA I] during the Prince of Wales visit in May 1920. It's not. There were other clear indicators, the presence of newly-arrived submarine J5, to show it was July 1919]. .

    Horatio J. Kookaburra Apologies for the late reply Kookaburra2011, we put your response into our database. :)

HMS REPULSE anchored in Athol Bight

  • FrigateRN said:
    It's a lovely stern shot of the old ship, Mr. Wilson did a great job on this one.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    FrigateRN Glad you liked the image! Will put up a few more in the coming days from the same photographer.
  • FrigateRN said:
    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons That is great news, your pictures will be looked forward to. Thank you for your kindness, much appreciated.
