Loving the illustrations round the edge of Charles Bayliss' photo. The AUSTRAL is an old favourite. In 1882 -

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Thanks for posting this! The previous 'Koenigin Luise' was a regular visitor to Australia for the North German Lloyd Company. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_K%C3%B6nigin_Luise_(1896)

I have the SS Omar in my documentary as she passes Cocos Island and it's too rough to "drop a barrel". Another time I have her dropping off kittens in a barrel! Thanks for posting, it's good to see her close-up. Description about the barrels here: classic-yacht.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/CYAA-Mag-FEB-2010...

beachcomber australia Hmmm, wasn't Fort Macquarie demolished in 1901? The photographer was born in 1901...and yet that really does look like Fort Macquarie.
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, Fort Macquarie was demolished in 1901, and the new tramway sheds had a castellated outline and a castle tower. See this wonderful 1906 (?) photo (which needs further research) -

"S.S. Lusitania"

from Powerhouse Museum

Not the famous SS Lusitania sunk by a U-Boat, but I assume the one mentioned at www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/orient.html "Lusitania built 1871 1877 transferred from Pacific Steam Nav.Co, 1900 sold to Elder Dempster's Beaver Line. 3,877 tons"
beachcomber australia said:
From the identifying landmarks, it looks like the 'Lusitania' is moored in Neutral Bay and the photographer (Henry King) is near Kirribilli House on the rocks. There is a Sydney Morning Herald article of 21.8.1888, with the R.M.S. Lusitania moored at Neutral Bay and a wonderful full description of the journey from London. Maybe it is the date of this photo? - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13693996
