    Aha! The 'YALLAROI' again! Likely to be September 1889 also - see comments and research -

    But what is that big white liner at East Circular Quay? Anybody? See -

    beachcomber australia Good morning Beachcomber! The Sailors Home is an interesting one, it looks completely different today. Re the State Records NSW image, I wonder if the building with 'SOUDAN' written on it relates to the conflict which was 1885? This 1886 Trove article mentions a 'Soudan Hotel', lower George St: bit.ly/QCyvHU

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Brilliant information about the Soudan Hotel, which seems to have been a favourite place for Coroner's inquiries It doesn't rate a mention in Trove after 1888, probably due to a name change. Yes, the Sailors Home had a facelift in the 1920s on the George Street side; nearer the quay it is still recognisable. The building which fascinates me is the Mariners Church beyond, which has been endlessly 'improved' for 150 years - www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/visit/ViewAttracti...

    beachcomber australia Haha yes - the Soudan Hotel seems to have been well known to the Coroner. I have never really noticed the Mariner's Church before, "From 1856 to 1859, the Mariners’ Church was built at the site by the Bethel Seaman’s Union. Founded in England and later established in Sydney, the Union was born from the widespread evangelical religious revival of the early 19th century, which included missionary activity among seaman... During levelling of the site, the stonemasons union advised that they would reduce their working hours per day from twelve to eight. This was agreed to by the Bethel Union Trustees, making the site the first in the world to employ workers on an eight-hour day basis." bit.ly/T9jHhN The early stages of a very strong Seamen's Union movement in Australia!

    pellethepoet Interesting to compare the two photos, isn't it? This one is earlier - no tram poles etc. Flags and Sunday best clothes - Anniversary Day? (Australia Day).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    No Fire Station - it's earlier than I thought. More like c.1890 ...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Certainly pre-1891 - the Manly Jetty seen in the other photo was built in 1891.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    pellethepoet beachcomber australia Thank you for the image and pointing out those clues. We initially dated this as c 1890 based on the women's clothing, however, the State Records NSW photograph provides a better reference point. Thanks again!
