ORIZABA entering Sydney Heads & Circular Quay

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  Presuming that is the ORIZABA also alongside the Orient Wharf at east Circular Quay. The ORIZABA and the ORIENT are difficult to tell apart at first glance, and I have made mistakes identifying them on PhM photos, partly because they changed appearance over the years - length of funnels, number of cross-spars, etc. At this time (c.1885) the ORIENT had cross-spars on the second mast forward - the ORIZABA didn't. And the ORIENT had a white streak half way down the sides, a wall with cabin portholes. Confusing, but when you look at them side by side in photos as good as these, it is more obvious - ORIENT

Tongan scenery and Homeward from Sydney per M.M. steamer

  I wonder if this is the Messageries Maritimes Steamer LE SYDNEY (1882). Trouble is there were seven identical sister ships! - MELBOURNE, CALEDONIEN, SALAZIE, OCEANIEN, YARRA, and NATAL. Hmmm! www.messageries-maritimes.org/sydney.htm ; www.messageries-maritimes.org/avant18.htm

  beachcomber australia That'd be right. Now where's that barcoding system for historic ships that Quasymody suggested...
