    There's a mention in the catalogue notes that it could be the Palme, but I don't think that's right. The Palme was the focus of the 1895 Kingstown Lifeboat Disaster, and according to newspaper reports the masts were cut off when it went aground.

    Explore! Mr Hall would have been pleased! Found it! From that "A. S. N. Hotel" (see note), which is mentioned in Trove as John and Mill Streets, Pyrmont (selling tobacco without a licence). The LYDERHORN is anchored in Pyrmont Bay, with Pyrmont in the background. We are looking almost west from about the "R" in Darling on this 1895 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=... A stone's throw from the ANMM, but almost unrecognizable to what is there now - the area has probably been rebuilt two or three times.

    This is the full-rigged ship TUSITALA. You can just barely make out her name just aft of the men on her focsle. "...Tusitala, was the last full-rigged merchant ship to fly the American flag. She was an iron-hulled sailing ship of 1684 tons built in 1883 in Greenook, Scotland as the “Inveruglas.” She subsequently sailed under Norwegian flag as the “Sophie“. After being laid up for several years, she was acquired by a group of New York writers and artists who went by the name of the “Three Hours for Lunch Club.” The ship was brought under the US Flag and renamed Tusitala, in honor of Robert Lewis Stephenson. Tusitala was the Samoan name adopted by Stephenson, meaning “Teller of Tales.” When this picture was taken, she was being commercially operated between New York and Hawaii via the Panama Canal. She ended up serving as a training ship for the US Maritime Services training Center in St Petersburg FL, and was scrapped in 1947. www.oldsaltblog.com/2011/05/joseph-conrad-the-tusitala-th...
