    An educated guess - that is the Orient Line LUSITANIA bottom right. Compare the bow, anchor, rigging, davitts, and figurehead with - Megazoom at PhM - from.ph/30572

    beachcomber australia Good point re LUSITANIA, a bit difficult to tell. Although on closer inspection it appears to be washing day on deck there..? We LOVED the Petty's Hotel montage! The Fawlty Towers music was a nice touch :) As you mention, it must have been a favourite with photographers, who also seemed to loved capturing it from the same corner!

    This photo was taken after 1883. On the Saturday night of 12th Nov 1883, there was a fire between Lower George St & Pitt St just south of Queens Wharf, next to the Commissariat Stores. The fire destroyed the old 1820s counting house of Berry & Wollstonecraft, which was next south to Mary Reibey's house. In the 1870s Lower George St had become an enclave of Chinese merchants. In the picture, above, John Cowper has put a box around the PS Brighton. In the top left hand corner in that box, you can see the remains of the wall of Berry & Wollstonecraft's counting house, here in this picture was occupied by Sun Kum On Importer. The story is on the previous page. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/...

    Do you happen to know where in the engine room this was taken? Is this in the low pressure or high pressure turbine room?

    Unfortunately, we do not know that information. If I can find out, I will post something here.

    These are the original 3-blade propellers. Around 1909/1910 the forward two were replaced with 4-blade propellers, and eventually all aft ones were also.
