Matelot on duty on JEANNE D'ARC

JEANNE D'ARC moored at Circular Quay, Sydney on its 1938 goodwill visit to Australia. The Hood Studio was allowed access to the ship and here we have a sailor (matelot) on ceremonial guard duty complete with boarding pike.

 

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.
