FRANCONIA at No 4 West Circular Quay

This image of FRANCONIA was taken from on board the 8.10 ferry from Mosman to Circular Quay. FRANCONIA was on a world cruise and arrived on 2 March 1934, departing at 7pm the next day.

 

Frederick Wilkinson (1901 - 1975) migrated to Australia from England in 1911. While wokring various jobs in and around central Sydney, Wilkinson acquired a camera and began taking photographs of vessels and harbour scenes. Many of his images were used by commercial photographers for souvenir postcards.
