  I would say definitely JOSEPH CONRAD - the middle mast sails seem to be blowing out the wrong way. Seconds before this one, so the Moth biplane is somewhere around ...

• 林艺锦 said:

  NICE B&W! like it!

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Thanks BC!

• Minus van Baalen said:

  beachcomber australia "blowing out the wrong way": This is the way square-rigged ships maneuvered to stay put without removing the sails, for instance to wait for a pilot to board.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Minus van Baalen I never knew that - thank you!

SS GABO berthed with HMAS AUSTRALIA I at Garden Island

• beachcomber australia said:

  Is the enormous crane on GABO or some other vessel? It is impressive.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Ha! It was the "giant floating crane TITAN, which was brought from Cockatoo Island Dockyard." SMH 25/3/1924, p.8 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16154280

• beachcomber australia said:

  beachcomber australia Good old TITAN strikes again! It has a perpetual presence and pops up in various photographs around Sydney. :P

  Looks like Steamboat Quay, with St Mary's in the background. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,557072,656884,7,9

• derangedlemur said:

  Here's St Mary's from Sarsfield Bridge (the one you can see in the picture): maps.google.ie/maps?q=limerick&hl=en&ll=52.665348...

• derangedlemur said:

  There's nobody still milling flour in Ireland. You might be able to date it from the fact that the Newtown Perry mill is still in business in this photo.

• John Spooner said:

  The Flying Huntsman of Limerick is described in Freeman's in 1899 as a 'steam tug'. The earliest mention I can find of a steam tug of that name is in 1869 when it arrived in Belfast for the purpose of taking two tanks to Glasgow to lift a screw steamer which had sunk ten days previously in the Clyde.
