  The Bradleys Head Light means after 1905 - www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/nsw.htm But I am not 100% sure as there are TWO turretty things (see large size). Could be somewhere else?

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Could be? Or could be part of the vessel? Its a bit hard to tell at that level...

• Rob Andrew said:

  First off, I really want this to be ABERDEEN of 1881. The masthead flag looks to be the White Star flag, and the outline isn't wildly dissimilar to some photos of ABERDEEN. She was the game changer for steam between Australia and Europe. Worth a wee google. "...Napier’s Aberdeen burned only 650 grams of coal per horsepower hour. Let me put her fuel efficiency in perspective: her engines could move one ton of cargo over a kilometer using the energy released by burning the equivalent of a single sheet of paper." silberzahnjones.com/2011/04/20/moores-law-steam-engines-a... Her last voyage with the Aberdeen Line was to Sydney and started on 19 December 1905

• beachcomber australia said:

  Rob Andrew Woo-hoo! That's an exciting identification. I hope it is so ... Trove is full of SS ABERDEEN stuff; eg this illustration as a flagship at the 1901 Commonwealth Regatta - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/71462076?searchTerm=%2...

  Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Rob Andrew Guess what ?? The answer has been staring us in the face all along ... see top right corner note - very faint handwriting saying (I think) "Aberdeen 119" ...
