HMS HOOD in Sydney Harbour

    " ... ... The Hood carried on well up towards Fort Denison before swooping around to Kirribilli. On reaching her anchorage the huge anchor, with its massive chain, dropped with a mighty roar and rattle. There was a great splash when the anchor touched the water, and a cloud of rust rose like a red smoke from the chain as it rattled out. ...

    (Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish) That's a very dirty tugboat belching out all the filth on the MARIPOSA's port side. Same tug as this? -

  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Hmmm, it's hard to tell. Although the tug seems to be tethered to different ends of the vessel, here at the stern and at the bow in the other image.

    The white ship on the far right of the photo is either the Strathnaver or Strathaird.

    Phillip A-ha! It's the two 'Strath liners' appearing again! :) Thanks PhillMono.
