  Another view of the 'General Gordon' berthed on the Hawkesbury River from dunedoo: The steamer is named after General Gordon the ill-fated hero of Khartoum. Here is a contemporary photo of him from 'Life of General Gordon' 1886:

  The name corrected (Mi)lford written on its bow.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  The ship's name ends in "-lford" which may make it the PS Milford which was scrapped in 1901.

• O Mac said:

  She was a Great Western Railway ship. One of three paddle steamers ordered from William Simons & Co. of Renfrew in 1873. She was badly damaged in a storm and broken up in 1901. PS Waterford and PS Limerick were sister ships. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Western_Railway_ships

• Sharon Corbet said:

  There's a reverse view, but it's hard to see much as the ship is in the way.
