Illingworth was built in 1922, 6067 grt. The ship was sold during the Great Depression in 1934 to A Vestarhis, Piraeus and renamed Mina. in 1937 the ship was sold to Achille Lauro (later the well known pass liner/cruise ship operator, but at this stage a cargo ship operator) and renamed Aida Lauro. The ship was seized by Brazil in Dec 1941 and was renamed Victorialoide. Reacquired by Achille Lauro in 1950 the ship was immediately scrapped.

I believe this yacht is the Caprice built by Charles Lucas at Hobart in 1900.

The ferry in the background is "Woollahra" built in 1913. Sold out of ferry service around 1934.

This pic was evidently taken at the civic reception for the Australian Commonwealth Band, which was held at Sydney Town Hall on 22nd February, 1927. The band had returned from an overseas tour earlier that day. The tall chap to the right of the Drum Major might be Captain M.E.H. Penfold, who at various points in the mid 1920s was the NSW Governor's private secretary and ADC (he would have been representing the Governor)...the chap next right might be Paddy Stokes, former Lord Mayor (1925) and a NSW Labor Party MLA... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239927455 - Labor Daily, 23rd February, 1927 (pic) trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239927443 - Labor Daily item re trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239931478 - Labor Daily, 28th February, 1928...pic here of Bond's Hosiery Band with the Australian Commonwealth Band... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16356739 - SMH, 23rd February, 1927 (pic) trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16356755 - SMH item re Pic taken earlier that day when the band arrived in Sydney on the SS Marama www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/8159583686/
