DRUMALIS and SS SHAFTESBURY in Sydney Harbour

  I spy with my little eye - something beginning with "S" !! Or is it something beginning with "W" ??

• beachcomber australia said:

  Thinking it might be the SUNBEAM or HMS WATERWITCH but the more I look the less sure. I can't see the stays on the side of the hull which were prominent on both - see discussion and links - - but funnel looks too short ST GEORGE en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Waterwitch_(1892) Hi-res image of HMS WATERWITCH - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/28269 Ted might know!

  SV DRUMALIS - built 1890, wrecked off Nova Scotia in 1901 - full details - www.plimsoll.org/resources/SCCLibraries/WreckReports/1811... www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?33465 Hi-res image showing many of the same stains on her hull as above, and possibly the same warship in Farm Cove, left of frame - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/12213 1892 - first visit to Sydney - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13871651 1896 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14056426 1897 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14124772 2/6/1897 - "The four-masted barque Drumalis is at anchor in Neutral Bay, loading Bulli coal for San Francisco." trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/108056229

  beachcomber australia Well spotted re the SUNBEAM / WATERWITCH - Brassey was back in Australia with his yacht in the late 1890s so the date would line up. I don't think we were able to establish when WATERWITCH was painted this colour but our resident expert Ted may know!
