A sharp bowed paddle steamer with raked masts and smoke stack!

  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.

Refurbishing tug boats at Bill Quay

  This is ST-761, a US Army tug built in northern Alabama at Decatur in 1943. Sold to France Fenwick in 1950 as RYHOPE, she was sold again in 1970 to a Yugoslavian company as KASTOR. Scrapped 1986 at Split.

  It's amazing what can be found out ^^ If I remember correctly, the foundations for cranes and other yard equipment is still visible at the rivers edge there. Could well be from the same yard. Bill Quay hides some interesting secrets - some very dark ones too. I think I know where I'll be heading soon!

• optimal chicken said:

  Edit; It is indeed this yard I was describing. Once the weather clears I'll grab some pics and explore the area..

  Wonderful sharp photo.

• 35mm disjointed said:

  Easy to take this image for granted. But it would appear to have been taken from a boat, is in focus with a good acceptable depth of focus. Great shot. I was born in a house up the bank (not the one in the picture) and used to play around here. Fishing and hunting for crab bate. Those were the days.

Steamer "General Gordon" Hawkesbury River

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• Andy Brill said:

  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:
