The air seems more polluted than today. The downside of concentrations of coal-fired furnaces and steam boilers and locomotives.

I think those are railway sheds if anything. It was a popular view - Henry King (c.1888?) - Arthur Phillips (c.1895?) Charles Kerry (c.1900?) Guessing Mr Hall's photo at about 1910?
beachcomber australia said:
Wait a minute - the railway opened in 1893 and I think they are building it here. The large size shows what looks to be stacks of rails. So 1892? That makes more sense with the square riggers in the background. Andy Brill It looks like a westerly wind, so all the smoke and filth from Balmain area is blowing towards the north shore.
beachcomber australia said:
Hmmm - the ferries and wharf buildings look more like c.1910 ...

Andy Brill beachcomber australia 1892 seems like a better date, though we will forward this photograph to a ferry expert for some advice about the ferries. Presuming you saw Catherine Warne's Pictorial History: Lower North Shore pp 67-71? Interesting!

That rings a ship's bell! ... see comments and research etc ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber, this must be the same day. We are interested in identifying the steam yacht at front (TBC). What a fascinating story re Lightoller & his Boer War 'prank'!
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons The State Records NSW catalogue says the steam yacht at front is the "NSW Government Steam Launch PREMIER". Unfortunately the captions for Series 4481 are notoriously unreliable, or perhaps fortunately because it has meant a lot of flickr fun for sleuths. A quick browse around Trove looks like this particular ID might be true.

beachcomber australia Cheers Beachcomber - measuringworth.com is a find!
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, I often look up old prices with it, and sometimes post a comment. You have to be a bit careful with which of the five values you use - I used the retail price index here, and thought the current worth rather low - like a modern airfare - until I remembered it was one way, not return as the airfare.
