First Glebe Island Bridge, Glebe (NSW)

    Something I only learned recently - this first bridge collapsed in 1899 while they were building the second one. See



    So 1899 latest date ...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    The first bridge was built in 1861 to service the abattoirs (see note) which were there first. Read all about it - SMH 22/10/1860 p.5 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13047525 .

    State Library NSW has a print which it catalogues as "ca.1870s" - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=412114
    There are several other 1870s photos of the bridge in the State Library which seem to show similar building development as this photo.

    No way is this the first glebe island bridge. it is too long. It is probably the old gladesville bridge

    beachcomber australia Thanks I'll update the date!
  • pellethepoet said:
    beachcomber australia Great work in finding that print of this photo at the State Library.

    Someone needs to tell the DoS they have the opening date of the first bridge a few years too early on their Glebe Island Bridge entry - dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/glebe_island_bridge

Single masted passenger vessel near shore

from Powerhouse Museum

  • Jean Knowles said:
    Shouldn't that be "single _masted_ vessel", as in having one mast? All vessels have only one "master", the ship's captain. The vessel's mainmast appears to be missing, leaving only the mizzen.
  • Terrific Lake said:
    best shot
  • BobMeade said:
    I agree with the curator's comment at the persistent URL that this shipo is a coal loader, therefore it is unlikely to any longer be a passenger vessel.
  • FL JAGER said:
    it does appear to have been loaded with coal at the time of this photo but this ship had previously been a navy ship, notice the gun deck port hole covers have cut-outs for the cannons...
  • Whipper_snapper said:
    It is probably a former frigate hulked for use as a fuelling jetty. HMS Warrior, now preserved at Portsmouth, UK, only survived to today because she remained in use as an oiling jetty until her historical value was recognised and she was rescued. Please add to: Naval History

Canon Hammond Christmas poor relief appeal tent. December 1938, by Sam Hood

from State Library of New South Wales

  • Happy days 09 said:
    Marvellous, the men with their suits and hat and the young ladies in their bobby socks, and check out that scooter! Fabulous
  • Dedi Raspi said:
    Really a suggestive image !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • James Head said:
    I wonder what the zeitgeist was like in '38.. How much foresight there was for the coming War. Or if it was a 'great time'?

    Outside St Mary's?
