  The gentleman on the far right is in the background of the Donegal Fisherman photo - see patch on his left knee.

  Gillian-r Eagle eye, Gillian! Well spotted... :)

  This is a terrific shot and so educational and evocative! I do agree that it appears to be the same gentleman. The lady in the shot is dressed in a fashion that would appear overly ornate to most modern people. Well done NLI this is one of the best!

  As a novice otherwise known as a "Maiden" despite my gender, I used to row in the 60's with blades like that. Since then they have been transformed and today the blades are very different from those. Lovely photograph of fine looking young ladies and a wonderful explanation of the circumstances, well done ANMM.

  Thanks folks! A great set of images from the formative years of women's rowing in Australia.

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It is funny you should come back to these images Quasymody - I have been doing some research on dear Trixie. We have a photo album of hers on display in the museum and hey presto! It is open to the photo that appears in the 1933 AWW article so it is her crew! When I get the chance to view the album in depth I will let you know the names, it appears that each pic has info on the back just hard to get to currently... Thanks so much for the articles, locking them away into our catalogue :)
