    On board photo of the White Star Line built the Ceramic in 1913, a giant liner then for the Australian service. It carried troops to the conflict zones in World War 1, served on the White Star passenger and cargo service between GB and Australia and New Zealand, and was torpedoed in 1942.

    These streamer shots are great. I was just looking at the streamer photo in the SJ Hood book today and it brought back memories of standing above the crowds holding the end of a streamer.

    Mangrove Rat Agreed! It is the White Star Line / Dalgetty's Wharf at Millers Point looking south up Darling Harbour. Here is a photo from the reverse direction showing the building at left -

    www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-f115-sd&rgn&am... zoom in, then pan down to Dalgety and Co's wharf to the White Star Line. The map is highly addictive! Or maybe you already know that...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Mangrove Rat Yes, that map is great fun!

    Mangrove Rat beachcomber australia Hi, thanks for the information and that wonderful map! What detail! So useful in terms of understanding the shipping industry in Sydney. Looks like you're right beachcomber and it makes sense seeing as that was where the White Star Line's wharf was. Judging by the fashion, it is likely that these images were taken in the 1920s. Stay tuned for more of these images. We think Sam Hood may have liked photographing the streamers...
