The White Star Line built the Ceramic in 1913, a giant liner then for the Australian service. It is shown here berthed in Darling Harbour in Sydney. It was torpedoed in 1942.

Beautifully sharp viewed original size. What a tragic story.

Mangrove Rat It's a great image isn't it? I particularly like the woman waving her hat with the water spurting out, lower right. Watch this space, there's more photographs from the same day still to come!
