beachcomber australia said:
The Sterling name rang a bell - the ship 'Helen B Sterling', named after Captain Edward Robert Sterling's wife, had a rather sad ending in Sydney in the 1930s. See comments etc on this photo of the ship passing under the Harbour Bridge in 1931 -
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Thank you for that link beachcomber! It is a wonderful photograph. There appears to be quite a bit of information about the vessels, and the shipping family available which is promising.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thomas_Turner William Thomas Turner (October 23, 1856 - June 23, 1933) was the Captain of the RMS Lusitania when it was sunk by a German torpedo in May 1915.
Kilted Cowboy said:
this could also be taken when he captained the Aquitania on her maiden voyage On 30 May 1914. As Commodore for Cunard, he also captained Mauretania and Lusitania on their maiden voyages. The air intakes behind him could be the Aquitania, or possibly Lusitania after her original caps had been torn off by storms and replaced with this more conventional style later in her career. (Or Mauretania at any time) However their apparent closeness most resembles the pair aside Aquitania's #1 funnel. see the photo:

I scanned the negative for a date but can't discern one.

Date, 6/5/14, is on right side of photo.
Arden said:
Thanks Wystan for the date, which probably puts Captain Turner on board the Aquitania. Thank you nudecowboy for the photo of the Aquitania model. We will include additional information about Captain Turner to the description when we update.
