    Hello! We'd love you to add this photo to the National Maritime Museum's group Travellers' Tails. www.flickr.com/groups/nmm_travellers/rules/ This group has been set up to collate photographic responses to the exhibition The Art and Science of Exploration: 1768-80 at the National Maritime Museum and touring to the Grant Museum of Zoology, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, the Hunterian Museum and Horniman Museum and Gardens. The exhibition aims to explore Captain Cook’s voyages of discovery, as well as the exchange of ideas and experiences around travel and exploration and investigate key questions around the history of art, science and exploration and what this means today, drawing on George Stubbs’ Enlightenment era paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum. We’d love to see your photographs - please help us build a gallery of images to enrich the group! Thanks! www.flickr.com/groups/nmm_travellers/rules/

The harbour was alive. Its breezes filled the sails of hundreds of yachts that had turned out in welcome and rustled along the shoreline where a lively atmosphere sprang from the large crowds who had been anticipating the yacht’s arrival for days. On board was Lord Thomas Brassey, future governor of Victoria and founder of the volunteer naval reserves. Despite Lord Brassey’s stature, however, the adoration of the Sydney crowd belonged to his wife, the celebrated travel writer Lady Annie Brassey, and to the vessel itself." "Sunbeam was designed for Thomas Brassey by Mr St. C. Byrne and built by Bowdler, Chaffer & Co. at Seacombe, England, in 1874. " "Many years later, in 1915, Brassey, now nearly eighty years old, sailed Sunbeam to Gallipoli where he handed her over for use as a hospital ship."

    From elsewhere on Flickr, here is a picture of her figurehead: Greenwich: National Maritime Museum - Sunbeam Figurehead
    and two photos of her in Australia: SUNBEAM on Sydney Harbour Steam yacht SUNBEAM on Sydney Harbour
    The latter of the two photos from the Australian National Maritime Museum has a long thread of comments with more history.
