trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844234 - this pic appeared in the Sydney Daily Telegraph on 12th February, 1926 (see pic lower lhs)...it was evidently taken in Sydney the previous day when officers from the NSW Staff Corps entertained officers from the visiting Japanese cruiser HIJMS Iwate at a tennis party held at Victoria Barracks. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844037 - the Daily Telegraph's report... Per the Daily Telegraph, the Japanese officers present included Lieutenant Commander K. Nakae, Lieutenant T. Hadaka, Lieutenant Shigenaga, Sub-Lieutenant I. Ikegami and Sub- Lieutenant N. Kimura. The commander of HIJMS Iwate was evidently Captain Yedahara...it's unclear whether he attended the Victoria Barracks tennis party. Per the Daily Telegraph the local tennis players included 'Mrs. Noel Cox Taylor, Miss Cox Taylor, the Misses Dorothy and Olga Bruche (twins), Miss Kidstone, Mr and Miss Harper, Mrs. Solby, Mrs. Bevis.' These NLA Fairfax pics were also taken on this occasion: trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779837 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779838 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779833 HIJMS Iwate visited Sydney on several occasions...January 1924, February 1926 and May 1932.

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.

This looks all too familiar to me........as a young Rover Scout, I was helping the Cub leaders of my scout group, 1st Wollstonecraft, on a days outing to go over the visiting tall ship Esmeralda at Circular Quay & later watched the evenings fire works from Bradleys Head to celebrate the Second Centenary celebrations of the arrival of the good Captain James Cook's discovery of the east coast of Australia.
