Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• beachcomber australia said:

  That has got to join up with, if not an exact panorama - from the Hill & Clark warehouse -

• beachcomber australia said:

  And I reckon she is the ORIENT even more now! The bridge / wheelhouse looks just like -

• beachcomber australia said:

  And I am 90% sure that lifebelt says "ORIENT GLASGOW" (see note). Apologies - getting too EXCITED. It is great to see all the detail of this wonderful ship so close up - the sailors in the bosun's chairs, the fellow scaring seagulls, etc, etc !!

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Glad you enjoyed! The fuller picture of Circular Quay is coming together. We agree that this is almost certainly ORIENT.

  No Ammo!

• xr282 said:

  the gun is a M1895 Colt-Browning machine gun aka potato digger

• philthydirtyanimal said:

  The machine gun, no doubt, helped to detect more crime.

Sydney from Lavender Bay

  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/63616320# - this pic appeared in the Illustrated Sydney News on 14th March, 1891...but I suspect the pic might have been taken a few years earlier...if you zoom in, over at Circular Quay there looks to be scaffolding around the Customs House...so the James Barnet rebuild (completed ?1887) might still be in progress. The Mort & Co wool store extension looks complete...the extension was built in 1884-86...I can't see the 1886 extension to the Harrison Jones & Devlin wool store (in Loftus St, opposite Customs House)...but that might be because it's obscured...
