Lighthouse at end of breakwater, most likely Wollongong, 1927

This photograph is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum's collection of nitrate negatives taken by Harold Nossiter and his son Harold Nossiter Junior in the 1920s and 1930s.

 

Harold Nossiter (senior) was a noted Sydney sailor in the 1920s and 1930s who became the first Australian to skipper a yacht around the world under an Australian flag.

 

This photo is thought to have been taken on one of Harold Nossiter's UTIEKAH II cruises to Shoalhaven River in 1927.
