I am drawing a great big blank with this - anyone else find something?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Hang on a second, just did some research thanks to FredV45's tag. This might be KITANO MARU at the bridge opening event! That would explain why there are huge crowds and other steamers in the harbour.
The MALOJA was the lead ship, which might explain these photos:

What do you all think?
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons "KITANO" not "RITANO" - that's why I drew a blank before. Whoopee, I think you are right about the Harbour Bridge Opening! So Saturday 19 March 1932. I don't think the two MALOJA photos are from this particular occasion because there are no huge crowds and/or boats in the background. And no bunting etc. Here is a wonderful detailed account of the event including all the involved ships' names (which may help with other Hall photos in the series) - SMH 21/3/1932 p.12 col 6 "Ships' Procession" - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1157173 At the bottom right of the page is also this -
" GRACEFULTRIBUTE. A graceful compliment to New South Wales and the bridge was paid by the commander of the Kitano Maru, who made the sacred tree of Japan, the flowering cherry, prominent on the green covering of one of the hatchways of the vessel on the occasion of Saturday's celebrations. "

beachcomber australia Hmmm, think you're right about MALOJA. Thanks for the article! Great details which we will definitely include in the database. What another find! We're on a roll at the moment. :-)

beachcomber australia P.S. based on that news report, it seems the ship at East Circular Quay is Orient Line's SS ORFORD
Just found this too via National Library of Australia

Fabulous photo for shiplovers: apart from Oriana, one of each of the RIL sisters Tjiluwah and Tjiwangi, and Flotta Lauro C3 sisters Rome and Sydney.

"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!
