    Please State Records NSW, a larger version of this to see if we can find the name of the ship from the sailors' headbands.

    "Frigate" is a type of ship - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigate .

    ... (with sugar on top)?

    There sure are a lot of frigates to choose from (I'm assuming its a steam frigate because of the presence of what looks like a pressure gauge).

    Here's some info on rifled muzzle loaders

    Sorry folks, here you go!

    Thanks State Records NSW.

    Alas, no name headbands on the sailors' hats, but the hi-res is astounding, showing a wealth of detail. The pressure gauge looks like a rudder direction indicator. The clock says 14:05.

    There is something engraved on the cannon muzzle which looks like a "D", a name and a date (1883?) . It might be the name of the ship, or the name of the cannon manufacturer. Can anyone decipher it?
