18 footer SWASTIKA racing an unidentified 18 footer, Sydney Harbour

  Wonderful image. Does anyone know of a website which identifies the insignia on these 18 footer sails? There are so many unidentified old photos of these great boats here and at the Powerhouse Museum. [hint @ ANMM to start one !]

  beachcomber australia Hi Beachcomber, I don't know of a website but there is a wonderful book called 'Galloping Ghosts : Australasian 18 - footers 1890 - 1965' that has an index of vessels & their details including emblems. Many of the insignia were used by multiple boats so it can often be hard to distinguish individual vessels. Our curators have sifted through some of the WJ Hall images & identified where they can. Any input from the public of course is fabulous and perhaps an online index would be possible someday - it would certainly be useful!

  One of several candidates for the so-called "Amerika Bomber".

• Adamant Walk said:

  If only the Luftwaffe also had heavy bombers like the one shown in this photo, the war would have ended in victory for Germany.

  Could be William S. Hart, the the swastika was a good luck symbol to cowboys. Very rare now days for obvious reasons.

• Curious Kittens said:

  Chinese also this as symbol for good luck - perhaps this came from them. I know a lot of Chinese worked the railroad..
