Salvage and body searches continued for days afterwards - see this particularly grisly report from the SMH of 14/11/1927 p.11 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16418501

Fabulous photo of early Circular Quay! I don't mean to be picky but the Man o;War Steps were/are behind the photographer, the other side of Fort Macquarie. See this 1867 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm2685-sd&rgn=...

beachcomber australia Wow thanks beachcomber :) The landscape looks so different now, it is great to have some buildings / sites identified so that you can feel oriented looking at this pic. Its a fabulous shot!
Mangrove Rat said:
Agree with ANMM, it really helps understand the photo having the buildings/sites identified.
beachcomber australia said:
Re Miles Buildings (see note at right). John Degotardi (Senior) published a panorama taken from this building in c.1865-68, ie at a similar time. Interesting to see the reverse view - click through to the large size - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=440028#

beachcomber australia Thanks for the link beachcomber, so rare that you have these clear examples taken around the same time. They are wonderful photographs!

HMS NEW ZEALAND at naval buoy number 1 Farm Cove

Trainiac said:
Appears to have all its wartime modifications, the larger bridge structure the most obvious. On its post war first visit to New Zealand I'd say.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Trainiac I think you are right, HMS NEW ZEALAND spent some time in Sydney in mid-1919 during a world tour, and that is probably the time that this image was taken.
Horatio J. Kookaburra said:
This will be July 1919 when NEW ZEALAND brought Admiral Lord Jellicoe to Australia in the course of his world tour preparing a report for the British Admiralty on the future of the Dominion Navies [that is, largely whether they should be developed as national navies or enfolded in an Empire defence arrangement as branches of the Royal Navy. A very wise, far-seeing and decent man, Jellicoe recommended the former]. [Please note I am searching for a companion image here where I brain-fadedly identified the Indefatigable Class battlecruiser - with Union Jack on her flagstaff - as sistership HMAS AUSTRALIA I] during the Prince of Wales visit in May 1920. It's not. There were other clear indicators, the presence of newly-arrived submarine J5, to show it was July 1919]. .
