GULF OF MARTABAN, GREENOCK - educated guess with Trove's help. ~~Wrecked in 1897 - www.plimsoll.org/resources/SCCLibraries/WreckReports/17411.~~ [Edited 18/12/2012]

beachcomber australia Great, thanks beachcomber! The notes in the database say that one of the vessels in the background is a torpedo boat. I found no evidence of the vessel being used as a flagship during an Anniversary Day regatta, BUT, I did find this article! On 17 Feb 1897, a select few of the best of the New South Wales Mounted Rifles boarded the steamer bound for the Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in London. And guess where they boarded with their horses? :-D See this great account as well. Another great find!!

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Terrific! That must be the occasion, even though all the GULF OF ... (Greenock Line) ships seemed to have used Cowper Wharf, Woolloomooloo. Full details of the departure from the SMH 18/2/1897 p.3 col.5 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14089265 - including this -
" ... Gay-coloured bunting floated in the breeze from the rigging of the Gulf of Martaban as she loomed up largely beside the wharf, ... ... ... ... ... and at a quarter past 5 o'clock the big steamer swung out into the stream and was towed [see note] down the harbour by the steam tug Commodore. .... ..... Government steam launch Nea ... ... steamer Leveret. ... ... Excellent photographs of the whole team appear in this week's Sydney Mail ... "

beachcomber australia Wow thank you, that Sydney Mail article with the photographs is quite good. So the vessel was towed by COMMODORE. So great to solve the mystery behind these photographs. We can even now guess what time this photograph was taken! Around 5:15 pm :-)
