  Well done Mr Hall ! Some time in 1931, judging from the state of the Harbour Bridge ... The HELEN B STERLING seems to be moored off Bradleys Head - you can see the lighthouse right of frame. {Grrr @ Flickr for messing up the notes!]

  beachcomber australia Indeed! It's a beauty isn't it? :) We were thinking maybe November 1930..?? investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/photo.asp...

• beachcomber australia said:

  A quick Trove search for November 1930 produced this... "That six-master in the harbour is the American-owned Helen B. Sterling. She has been declared unseaworthy by the Australian authorities, and, therefore, seems doomed to rot upon her anchorage." - The Catholic Press 27/11/1930 p.4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/106252613

  beachcomber australia It's a very sad story, in fact the whole Sterling shipping line seemed cursed! issuu.com/anmmuseum/docs/signals_102/8

Barquentine in full sail in the Aru Islands Regency, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  A barquentine or schooner barque (alternatively "barkentine" or "schooner bark") is a sailing vessel with three or more masts; with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main, mizzen and any other masts. The term "barquentine" is seventeenth century in origin, formed from "barque" in imitation of "brigantine", a two-masted vessel square-rigged only on the forward mast, and apparently formed from the word brig.
