    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Fantastic research! I am sidetracked by Colonel A Spain though, particularly as my first thought was that the man second from right holding the programme, was him instead. This photo in particular looks like him. This photo also looks like him, more so than the man to the left. Plus this album is also interesting. See photo 12, caption says '[Colonel Bruxner, Judge Alfred Paxton Backhouse, the Captain and Colonel A.Spain and party at the Anniversary Regatta, 1937]'. Judge Backhouse is third from left in bowler hat, Colonel Bruxner is second from left, the Captain centre and then Colonel A Spain second from right. Regarding it being a regatta flagship, we thought so too, not just because of the presence of VIPs, but because of the flags in the background. By the way, great spotting in terms of the programme!

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Hmmm, it is difficult to be sure especially as it is only his profile visible in this pic. It's interesting also in the pic you linked to, do you think the man to his left looks a bit like the man we thought was Spain in our pic? I think that probably the case re the yachties! :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice! Caption amended. :) Still lookin' at that Colonel Spain though... :P

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice one!! I also thought the bow-tie chap was D.L. (Douglas) Dowdell based on the links you provided. Same look really. Also think you may be correct re Evans, Thorne and Garlick. Well done!! Records updated. :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] thanks for sharing the extra pics! Great to see more newspapers being digitised. I'm excited by all the new information that will become available and all the photographs that will therefore be unlocked :) So great to identify faces within our collection, thank you so much quasymody!

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Well spotted! You may be right about it being taken on the same occasion. This could then provide a date for our other RSYS pics, incl this one:
    Opening yacht season at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, 1920s
    This would certainly be pre 1934 (i.e. when Carment died).

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] P.S. Check out this article...methinks I spot Frank Albert! :)
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] We had initially thought 1920s too, but for a completely different reason, that is the women's clothing. FYI, we have had word from relatives of David and Elizabeth Carment that the woman to his left is not Elizabeth unfortunately. The numbers below right are the museum's object numbers by the way. It's a very interesting article! Also, if you're interested, the Vaughan Evans Library holds a digitised collection of the Australian Motor Boating and Yachting Monthly.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] But it was a good guess nonetheless, she looks about the right age and it is often a fair assumption to make. :) That's ok, didn't know that was your area of interest, we'll get to uploading more of that sort of content here on Flickr to pique your interest! Also, check out eMuseum Sport and Lifestyle section for a range of objects from our collection.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Again great work! I believe you are right about those guesses. Though this may not be the same day. Check out this work by Carment's great grandson!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Haven't come across that one, a great find thank you quasymody! In any case, we could probably definitely say it is 1920s.

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Broken link in your comment. Here's the download page davidcarment.com/downloads/ where "The Carments" PDF can be found. (Beware it's almost 7 MB.)
