HMS REPULSE anchored in Athol Bight

This image shows the foremasat of HMS REPULSE anchored in Athol Bight on Good Friday 18 April 1934. The image was taken by Wilkinson during a trip from Sydney to Taronga Park.

 

Frederick Wilkinson (1901 - 1975) migrated to Australia from England in 1911. While working 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.
