Please State Records NSW, a larger version of this to see if we can find the name of the ship from the sailors' headbands.

"Frigate" is a type of ship - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigate .

Pretty please ? !

... (with sugar on top)?

There sure are a lot of frigates to choose from (I'm assuming its a steam frigate because of the presence of what looks like a pressure gauge).

Here's some info on rifled muzzle loaders

Sorry folks, here you go!
beachcomber australia said:
Thanks State Records NSW.

Alas, no name headbands on the sailors' hats, but the hi-res is astounding, showing a wealth of detail. The pressure gauge looks like a rudder direction indicator. The clock says 14:05.

There is something engraved on the cannon muzzle which looks like a "D", a name and a date (1883?) . It might be the name of the ship, or the name of the cannon manufacturer. Can anyone decipher it?

The British have landed...

Figurehead, Battleship MACEDONIA (LOC)

The "Macedonian" was a British ship captured by Stephen Decatur during the War of 1812. militaryhistory.about.com/od/naval/p/sdecatur.htm

NYT of March 15, 1891 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9807EFD81239E033A... describes the figurehead of the Macedonian, a bust of Minerva, as being at the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

Apparently, a bust of Alexander the Great, not Minerva as reported in 1891:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_Monument
siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=G1I98...

see also (and also at the Naval Academy) but possibly mislabeled as being from the Macedonian?

Though perhaps BBC has it wrong, as the 1891 NYT article also describes the lion statue:
