SS THEMISTOCLES in Sydney Harbour

The commercial vessel SS THEMISTOCLES is depicted on Sydney Harbour in this photograph. The vessel was active as a passenger ship for the Aberdeen Line and travelled between Australia and Britain.

 

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.
