    Looks like it might be at Darling Island - see the Pyrmont Powerhouse chimneys behind. Reminded of this one, which took ages to identify -

    Lovin' the pet photos! Rellies of mine who had a racing yacht in the 1880s ('Galatea' in the 1886 America's Cup) also had a pet monkey on board.

    beachcomber australia They're great aren't they?! Wow, what a family history! We have a few GALATEA items from the collection, but they don't seem to be the same yacht... Watch this space, there's more pet pics to come :)

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Thanks for the link - that was the HMS GALATEA on which my gg-uncle, William Henn was an officer before its trip to Australia in 1868. He named his own yacht GALATEA after it. He, his wife and the pet monkey lived on board for years. I think they were real characters!

    “SS Garmoyle, built by Caledon SB. & Eng. Co. Ltd., Dundee in 1896 and owned at the time of her loss by Clyde Shipping Co. Ltd., Glasgow, was a British steamer of 1229 tons. On July 10th, 1917, Garmoyle, on a voyage from Cork to Glasgow with general cargo, was sunk by a mine from the German submarine U-57 (Carl-Siegfried Ritter von Georg), 14 miles southeast of Mine Head. 20 persons were lost”
