Billy Hughes inspects JEANNE D'ARC
JEANNE D'ARC moored at Circular Quay, Sydney on its 1938 goodwill visit to Australia. The then Federal Minister for External Affairs - William "Billy" Morris Hughes, former Australian Prime Minister 1915-1923 - made an official visit. Here we see Hughes with Captain Auphan and a gentleman who is presumably a French government official or perhaps a consul or ambassador. A naval guard stands with bayonetted rifles, glancing slightly at the photographer. The French Navy's motto is Honneur, Patrie, Valeur, Discipline (Honour, Homeland, Valour, Discipline) and features on all French naval vessels.
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.
