The location appears to be very Sydney Harbour, so not Port Chalmers. Is the ship Port Chalmers?
beachcomber australia said:
Dale Yes! See the large size. Location - Athol Bight, see Macquarie Lighthouse left horizon and Kincoppal Rose Bay at centre. The photographer was possibly on Cremorne Point, see shrubbery at right. There seem to have been several SS PORT CHALMERS - I am betting this one is the 1891 ship, probably when she was quite new. Details - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13856265

beachcomber australia The latter SS Port Chalmers didn't have the graceful clipper bow and stern seen here. A Flickr aside, the comments work again, make life more simple.
The Happy Rower said:
If you go to the original size image and then magnify the bow somewhat, you can make out dim letters that appear to read "PORT CHALMERS."

Dale beachcomber australia The Happy Rower Thanks all! Records updated. Indeed, the British one looks quite different: www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?163470
