  The MARIPOSA docked at Circular Quay East on 16th July 1934 and the following day, 17th July, the floating crane TITAN unloaded Kingsford Smith's aeroplane onto a barge for transport to Anderson Park, Neutral Bay.
  The reference to Woolloomooloo in an error.

• covid convict said:

  avro99 Yes, the shipping intelligence indicates the Mariposa was berthed at Circular Quay No. 2 wharf...which is where this pic was taken...
  
  I gather this pic (below) might have been taken shortly before the Mariposa departed from the US...
  - SMH, 19th July, 1934...item re the authorities moving to stop Kingsford Smith using the name 'ANZAC'...
