Great photo, not just of the 'Sobraon', but also the Sailors' Home, Commissariat Stores, Oriental Hotel, and all the busy GHOSTS ! And I was fascinated by the blog - link above.

That "1871" date rang a bell - sure enough the same image is in the volume of photos taken by Charles Pickering under the supervision of James Barnet, sent to the Foreign Office in the UK as a record of progress in the NSW colony. See -

beachcomber australia It is an amazing photo isn't it? Captures a bygone age of Circular Quay. Great to see that photo was popular then as well. Thanks for the information, beachcomber australia! - Kate (Digital Curator)

Yes this is a wonderful photo of 'Sobroan' & Circular Quay in general. Thanks too for the notification of the blog, Find out more about the hunt for TINGIRA’s last resting place on our blog. I will be watching it closely & I hope I can contribute to the research.

SMH article from 1933 talking specifically about this photo. Full of information on the 'Sobraon' - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16959416 (found when looking for something else, as usual)

This is an interesting & important photo of 'Sobraon'. 'Sobraon' was originally designed to have auxiliary steam power, but before the installation of the boilers it was decided not to add the steam power. The space for the propeller shaft was closed off & the space for the propeller was infilled with timber fairings. This photo clearly shows the stern where the propeller was to fit-in forwards of the rudder. If you look closely at the photo just ahead of the rudder is a flat section of wood work that fills in the space that was to be open for the propeller to fit into the stern of the ship. Just forwards of the flat section you will see the shape of the stern filling out again.

Sad end for such a noble piece of history.
