Steamer, likely to be SS ARCHER as flagship at the Pittwater Regatta

    I bet that is a flagship for the Pittwater Regatta. It looks very Pittwater-ish, rather than Harbour-ish.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    SS NAMOI or ARCHER or ?? See 'bridges' -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think SS ARCHER because of that large cylinder (a boiler?) behind the bridge. But it could be another ship altogether.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    If this is the SS ARCHER then it was the 1925 Pittwater Regatta held on Boxing Day 26/12/1925. Read All About It - including several familiar names of people and boats - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16275773 The Captain of the SS ARCHER was T. W. Banks, and Committee members listed - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16262438

    beachcomber australia My thoughts exactly - it has a definate Pitwatter feel to it. At first I thought the vessel was GWYDIR, but I think ARCHER is much more likely, especially now you have spotted the name! Thank you :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] My gosh! Thanks Quasymody, I had seen that image but not looked at it closely enough to realise they were so similar. Everyone is sitting in the same spots (but back to front) and in slightly different poses. It has to be the same day! The photos in this batch are slowly being digitised, I'll bet the other images in the article will pop up in our collection too. Thanks again :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Haha Quasymody you just made our day with that find! It is definately the indomitable David Carment and we are sending the image to Mr Carment's great-grandson for his own records :)
