    I gather this pic was taken on 25th February, 1932, when the Mariposa arrived in Sydney and was being berthed at East Circular Quay. Per the shipping intelligence she was initially berthed at East Circular Quay No. 2 wharf and later moved to West Circular Quay, No.4 wharf...from where she departed late evening on 27th February, 1932. This was the first occasion that the Mariposa had visited Sydney. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/4431868 - a picturegram (ie. photo sent via telephone) version of this pic appeared in the Melbourne Argus on 26th February, 1932...per the Argus the pic was taken the previous day when the Mariposa arrived in Sydney... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/142422921 - a slightly better version appeared in the Melbourne Australasian on 5th March, 1932...

    (Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish) That's a very dirty tugboat belching out all the filth on the MARIPOSA's port side. Same tug as this? -

    beachcomber australia Hmmm, it's hard to tell. Although the tug seems to be tethered to different ends of the vessel, here at the stern and at the bow in the other image.

    The white ship on the far right of the photo is either the Strathnaver or Strathaird.

    Phillip A-ha! It's the two 'Strath liners' appearing again! :) Thanks PhillMono.

    ample light short exposure time sans gunpowder I'm sure - very distinctive sharpness. This shot must have cost a mint.

    I loathe huge glittery, blingy, pre-digested comments!

    And I love the straight lines, curves, perspectives. light and shade, and the clothes and nonchalant stance of the man - reminds me of Fred Astaire.

    Classic Art Deco.

    @ vox9r - I would be interested to know why this cost a mint. Glass plate negatives etc.?
