West side Circular Quay. Sydney NSW

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • beachcomber australia said:
    This photo seems to be almost a panorama with - ... but with different ships in the foreground.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I am fairly sure that is the ORIENT in the foreground (forewater?!). The two slightly-raked funnels, arrangement of ventilators, masts with spars and gaffs, and the white walls with portholes - all seem to match the ORIENT photo -
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Feel another panorama coming on...? Let me check & see if Hungerford has any more Circular Quay shots up his sleeve...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes! Not quite a panorama, but you can see the intention - Doubly sure that is the ORIENT.

Sydney from Lavender Bay

from Powerhouse Museum

    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...

Steamer, likely to be SS ARCHER as flagship at the Pittwater Regatta

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • beachcomber australia said:
    I bet that is a flagship for the Pittwater Regatta. It looks very Pittwater-ish, rather than Harbour-ish.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    SS NAMOI or ARCHER or ?? See 'bridges' -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think SS ARCHER because of that large cylinder (a boiler?) behind the bridge. But it could be another ship altogether.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    If this is the SS ARCHER then it was the 1925 Pittwater Regatta held on Boxing Day 26/12/1925. Read All About It - including several familiar names of people and boats - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16275773 The Captain of the SS ARCHER was T. W. Banks, and Committee members listed - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16262438
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia My thoughts exactly - it has a definate Pitwatter feel to it. At first I thought the vessel was GWYDIR, but I think ARCHER is much more likely, especially now you have spotted the name! Thank you :)
