    This is H.M.S. Curacoa, a ship of the Royal Navy. This one was a third class cruiser, formerly a screw corvette. Here is a circa 1890 photograph at the Australian War Memorial: cas.awm.gov.au/photograph/302169 and an 1890 photograph from the State Library of South Australia here: images.slsa.sa.gov.au/mpcimg/10750/B10531.htm The curator's notes at the Powerhouse Museum's persistent URL say this may possibly be Mort's dock. It may also be Fitzroy Dock at Cockatoo Island. See the identical rock formations at the left hand side of this photograph: naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/PhotoSearchItemDetail.asp?M=0&am...

    I've just noticed that there is a second ship in the dry dock, one that appears to have two masts and two funnels.

    Here's a good comparison pic of Fitzroy Dock. Compare the rock formation on the left side of the dock here: www.flickr.com/photos/donshearman/1472304960/in/set-72157...

    HMS Curacoa was sold out of RN service in 1904 while the Victorian paint job pre-dates 1902/1903. Please add to: Naval History
