Officers of TSS AWATEA at East Circular Quay

    The presence of service ribbons on the older gents, and the lack of them on the younger, seem to place this photo much later that the 1910s. My guess is that this was taken not long before WW2, or maybe closer to the mid '30s.

    James Christensen Thank you Primeval Nature, you are exactly right. It was taken at the vessel's inaugural voyage from Auckland to Sydney in September 1936. I'll be putting a set together with all our AWATEA photographs which really displays the 1930s glamour associated with the vessel. There are more photos to come as well. beachcomber australia you beat me to it, tagging the pic! :)

    This was at the end of her maiden voyage. See www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/maiden_voyage_mysteries.html 'The westbound transatlantic passage officially began when the ship passed the Daunt’s Rock Light Vessel at 4:22 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) outside of the harbor of Queenstown, and ended when the ship passed the Ambrose Channel Light Vessel at 2:24 a.m. New York Time (NYT) on June 21, 1911, before entering New York Harbor.' According to www.geocities.com/titanicandco/olympic.html : ' When they arrived in New York the on looking crowd must have been amazed. They would never had seen a ship of that size. Unfortunately, neither had the other ships in New York harbour who found out difficult to keep control in their berths as the Olympic passed. The O.L. Hallenbach suffered serious damage to her rudder and stern frame when the Olympic's propeller pulled her in. The Olympic was not damaged (except for a few marking to her paintwork). The Olympic finally docked at pier 59.'

    This is what it would have approximated with the fateful Titanic coming into NY, less than a year later. Only the sizable OLYMPIC would be the only one photographed in New York, in this era, thanks to an iceberg.
