Good example for the era of the busy 'working harbour' and, when you lived close to your place of work..

Andy Brill It is good to see the rough underbelly of Sydney, warts 'n' all. The WANDRA (see note) had a short and accident-prone life. "A wooden twin-screw steamer, built at the Manning River in 1907" and wrecked off Jervis Bay in December 1915. See SMH 17/12/1915 p.10 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15632074 . There are several reports of mishaps with propellers etc in between those dates, which might explain the ship being near Mort's for repairs. Which puts this photo between 1907 and 1915. So far ...
