    What a lovely old ship.
    Has anyone else noticed that the 'Favorites' star isn't working?

    SS Thetis NSW Government Steamer
  • beachcomber australia said:
    FrigateCol Favourites star working for me - Flickr is still very glitchy, and I particularly miss the Preview Comment button.

    The original size of this is ENORMOUS, and THETIS is written on the bow. I thought it might have been the CAPTAIN COOK (1), the Pilot Steamer.

    Aha! Snap! The same image at State Records NSW (4481_a026_000478). Theirs might well be the original glass plate negative.

    The State Records NSW blurb - "The pilot steamer Thetis, built in 1868 for the New South Wales Department of Public Works. In 1871 the Thetis was placed in temporary service as Sydney's Pilot Steamer until 1877."
    The blurbs for this particular Series at SRNSW are notoriously inaccurate, so let's see if we can improve on the history of this wonderful ship ...

Shell Beach Manly N.S.W

  • John Cowper said:
    Although captioned "Shell" Beach it is actually Shelly Beach Manly, the photo taken from the vicinity of Fairy Bower Baech.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It looks pristine like this - still good nowadays.

    We love this series of his historical photos!
  • beachcomber australia said:
    City of Canterbury Bankstown It's great isn't it - so much interesting stuff at ultra-hi resolution to really find details. And many of these images seem to be very rare, if not one-offs. Big thanks to Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons for sharing the Edward Hungerford Album on Flickr. And to Edward Hungerford for collecting the photos together in the first place!

    Strange - this Charles Bayliss photo shows statues in the niches of the Great Hall - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.pic-vn4193369

    beachcomber australia [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] As mentioned, the different coloured brickwork makes it hard to distinguish shapes in the niches:
