Officers and sailors line the bow of JEANNE D'ARC
JEANNE D'ARC moored at Circular Quay, Sydney on its 1938 goodwill visit to Australia. At the bow we have the ratings (matelots) in their distinctive French naval uniform and a few officers casually posing for the photograph, leaning against (and in one case sitting on) the guard rail.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
