Prince Alfred Yacht Club Regatta

    I don't know where that is, but it is definitely not Green Point on Pittwater.
  • Andy Brill said:
    This is Miller's Point (right), possibly taken from Goat Island or Blues Point.

    Apart from the regatta, this is a wonderful and unusual view of the 1895 Dawes Point area and the docks before they were redeveloped into the finger wharves of Walsh Bay. Contemporary interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=...

    beachcomber australia A built-up little spot. I wonder how many of those buildings are still around?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Quite a lot of the buildings in Lower Fort Street and Windmill Street are still there, from that terrace with the seven uneven chimneys south. Almost everything around Walsh Bay and Dawes Point was redeveloped for wharves or the Harbour Bridge. GoogleMapsStreetView - I think the photographer was up the hill behind at McMahons Point, or high up on a ship. See the line-up of the terraces 6th chimney with the Lands Department Tower, neither of which has moved in the last 118 years!

    fantastic! I just love your photos, I didn't realize how much I loved ships and boats.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Vivienne Strauss Haha thanks Vivenne (belatedly)! Glad to have awakened a love of all things maritime. We love these rowing photos especially :)

    No mean feat in an era when shells weighed much more than today's carbon fiber boats!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    The Happy Rower Absolutely! They were very fit ladies :) You might be interested in our Signals article on Trixie and the Lady Rowers of the Y.
