    Wonderful panorama dated January 1871 (see note). I think the photo was originally made for an album sent to the Colonial Office in London, showing the achievements in NSW. That went into the National Archives UK who have also posted their version on Flickr, which happily includes all the ships' names! See - And the three individual photos which make up the panorama -

    It should be relatively simple to find out which day in January 1871 this was using Trove. About 10 or 11am by the warehouse shadows on the right!
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Hmm - That's not going to work. All the named ships were at Circular Quay wharfs on the 20th and 27th January 1871, ie for at least a week. See these excellent SMH alphabetical lists of "Vessels in Harbour" - 20 Jan 1871 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13216860 27 Jan 1871 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13218966 And all the ships except 'Chance' were there the previous week - 13 Jan 1871 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13221911

    beachcomber australia Well aren't I glad I posted this pic. Thanks for identifying the connection, its so great we can name all the vessels so accurately! The SLNSW has the same photograph, attributed to Charles Percy Pickering. It's not cropped & looks like it has the ships names pencilled beneath.

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons I had a feeling it was by Charles Pickering, or at least attributed to him. He was probably under the direction of James Barnet, the NSW Colonial Architect. The date "Jan 1871" on this version makes it extra special! I wonder where the original glass plate negatives are? Probably buried in State Records NSW Series 4481 with completely odd titles ...

    "J. W. RICHEY TIMBER YARD" (see note) gets a mention in this historical thingummy - Clarke’s Bridge Steam Saw Mills, Clarke’s Bridge (see 17 Transport), site unknown. J.W. Richey 1886, 1888, 1893, 1895 (CE 17.7.1886, 5.1.1889, 8.4.1893, 13.7.1895). See - www.ria.ie/sites/default/files/cork-gazetteer-ihta.pdf ('Find on page 'richey') - which might indicate c. 1890?

    I think this is the wall, high up in Connaught Avenue (but the Boer War memorial had not been built yet) - goo.gl/maps/CD1pRUALK2RmobYp9 Which rang deja vu bells. We were there previously looking to the left -

Town of Newcastle from the Customs House Tower

    So good - what great fun!

    Yes, lots in this. The hospital, top left, is much more impressive than the front on photos elsewhere. The Great Northern seems an impressive structure but was rebuilt only about 20 years later.
