    nugget1958 Thanks for the correction - our records have now been updated. The info on NAMOI also good for confirming the date as no later than 1925... Cheers!

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Thanks for the suggestions Quasymody, its definately hard to get a clear pic of Alfred Spain's face - we have put the info away for a possible future confirmation! No collars & ties - perhaps NAMOI did not have a dress code!? ;)

    I think this might be the Saturday 31 December 1921 Pittwater Regatta. NAMOI was the flagship Read All About It - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15982485 Tentatively, the President and Commodore was Mr F. J. S. Young (on the right), and Mr John Roche, the Honourable Secretary (left). Possibly the fellow in the middle is Mr John Williams, Vice Commodore, but he is not wearing his ribbon! Or is it the Lord Mayor Elect ??!

    beachcomber australia There is a (slightly blurry) image of John Roche in the February 1927 'Australian Motor Boating and Yachting Monthly', page 23. I think you have stumbled on to the right man - he is quite distinctly tall and thin.

    beachcomber australia Beachcomber you are clever! Check it out, a pic of Mr F. J. S. Young - unmistakeably our man on the right - in 'Australian Motor Boating & Yachting Monthly', June 1926 page 17

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Admiring your choice of light reading (!), and the clever reader thingy on your site. What other publications are there?
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Ah that would be our library's digital collection! You can find magazines, books and registers of shipping, (Plus we are hoping this will grow in the near future to include other titles). Here's the link if you want to have a play!
