There were only about a dozen 4-funnelled warships in the Royal Navy about the time of this photograph. They were all armoured cruisers. This ship looks as if it was HMS Euryalus, one of the Diadem Class of cruisers. Euryalus was based at Sydney on the Australian station between 1903 - 1905, so this is probably the period when this photo was taken.
Picture Esk said:
The ship in the foreground appears to be one of the Cadmus Class of steel screw sloops. This is probably HMS Clio which was commissioned in January 1904 and sent out to the Australian station. She arrived in Sydney on 9 May 1904 and left on 18 June 1904. There was only a three week period in May and June 1904 when both the Clio and Euryalus were together in Sydney Harbour.

Great stuff, Picture Esk. According to this Wikipedia article HMS Euryalus was involved in the Gallipoli campaign, and was the headquarters there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Euryalus_(1901)

Yes, thank you for that very useful information Picture Esk.
rodcbutcher said:
The position of masts and funnel on foreground ship looks out of proportion for HMS Clio - funnel is too far foward, as is midmast. Is this due to distance distortion ?

HMS Torch at anchor, [attrib. Sydney], 27 August 1855, watercolour sketch by Conrad Martens

Wonderful painting! 27 August 1855 was a Monday ... hence the crew's washing hung out to dry?! I think Conrad Martens was on the west side of Farm Cove, before the sea wall was built. About here, going by Bradley's Head etc - goo.gl/maps/s9sVb1dxksmWMZub6

I agree - this painting has such a wonderful feel - and thanks for the pointers on the location.
