This is the liner Omrah which entered service in the Orient Line UK - Australia service in 1899. This 8130 grt steamer was torpedoed in April 1918, without serious loss of life. The Company introduced the similar but slightly larger Orontes (1) in 1902.

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) -

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Fantastic research! I am sidetracked by Colonel A Spain though, particularly as my first thought was that the man second from right holding the programme, was him instead. This photo in particular looks like him. This photo also looks like him, more so than the man to the left. Plus this album is also interesting. See photo 12, caption says '[Colonel Bruxner, Judge Alfred Paxton Backhouse, the Captain and Colonel A.Spain and party at the Anniversary Regatta, 1937]'. Judge Backhouse is third from left in bowler hat, Colonel Bruxner is second from left, the Captain centre and then Colonel A Spain second from right. Regarding it being a regatta flagship, we thought so too, not just because of the presence of VIPs, but because of the flags in the background. By the way, great spotting in terms of the programme!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Hmmm, it is difficult to be sure especially as it is only his profile visible in this pic. It's interesting also in the pic you linked to, do you think the man to his left looks a bit like the man we thought was Spain in our pic? I think that probably the case re the yachties! :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice! Caption amended. :) Still lookin' at that Colonel Spain though... :P

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice one!! I also thought the bow-tie chap was D.L. (Douglas) Dowdell based on the links you provided. Same look really. Also think you may be correct re Evans, Thorne and Garlick. Well done!! Records updated. :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] thanks for sharing the extra pics! Great to see more newspapers being digitised. I'm excited by all the new information that will become available and all the photographs that will therefore be unlocked :) So great to identify faces within our collection, thank you so much quasymody!
