RMS MOLDAVIA II at Circular Quay

This image shows RMS MOLDAVIA II moored at No 4 wharf West Circular Quay after the vessel arrived from London on Thursday morning, 15 October 1931. The photograph was taken from on board the 9am boat from the Quay to McMahons Point.

 

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.
