RMS STRATHAIRD at West Circular Quay, 1932

This image shows the liner STRATHAIRD at wharf 4 in Circular Quay on between March and December 1932. It was the first P&O liner to undertake a cruise and departed Sydney on 31 December 1932 at 11.30am. This photograph was probably taken from the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

 

This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
