"1887" - Crikey, that's an oldie and a goodie! I wonder if it was a slip-of-the-pen for 1888? Very easy to do at the start of the year. There are multiple articles about the ORIZABA as Flagship for the Centennial Regatta in 1888 (on 27 January), but none for 1887. Hmmm ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Indeed, I researched it to make sure because our records had 1887 as well. But IBERIA was flagship that year, so yes, your suggestion that it was mislabelled is more likely. And yes, I think we've all made that mistake eh? :P But thanks for pointing out the inscription, I hadn't noticed it!

Roger I think she is the 1954 'Orsova' - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Orsova_(1954)

beachcomber australia Hi Beachcomber - that sounds about right! This article mentions the vessel's arrival in Sydney that year.
beachcomber australia said:
I think the 'Orsova' was arriving in Sydney "shortly after dawn" on Monday 19/4/1954. Berthed at Wharf 13 Pyrmont, hence she is heading under the Bridge. Kirribilli Ferry Wharf at right. Evidently the "distinctive "Welsh Hat" funnel is specially designed to keep the deck clear of smut." [sic!] Also ... "As fastest ship In the trade, it is entitled to carry a golden rooster at the masthead to show it is "cock o' the sea", but it is the only big liner in the Australian trade that has no mast." - SMH 20/4/1954 p.4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18421341 . This must have been one of Samuel J. Hood's last photographs.

beachcomber australia Hood died in 1953, so perhaps this was taken by his son Ted, or a representative from the studio. Interesting...

Gorgeous set of photos of ORIANA! It's unusual to find photos this sharp and clear. I feel fortunate to have sailed aboard this unusual and striking-looking liner.
