Japanese warship HIJMS YAKUMO underway in Sydney Harbour

Antoine R said:
This is the Yakumo.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Antoine R Thank you Antoine R, we have updated our records. Are you familiar with the Imperial Japanese Navy cruisers?
Antoine R said:
It is not difficult to tell the German-built Yakumo from the Armstrong pair Izumo and Iwate. Main difference is the form of funnels. The Yakumo had shorter and thicker ones. Another difference is the number and arrangement of deflectors. Also there are other details but those are much visible.

Antoine R Thanks Antoine R :)

Trainiac said:
Japanese armoured cruiser Asama (built by Armstrong) with one of the three funnel Japanese battleships(?) following.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Trainiac Thank you for that information Trainiac, we think you're right! Our records have been updated.
Antoine R said:
This ship is really the Asama. The following cruiser is the Iwate.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Antoine R Thanks Antoine R, this one's an easier one to identify I think. :)

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.
