HMAS CANBERRA at naval buoy number 1, Farm Cove, Sydney Harbour

In this image HMAS CANBERRA is shown at naval buoy number 1 Farm Cove on 5 March 1932. This photograph was taken by Frederick Wilkinson during a trip from Circular Quay to Mosman via Garden Island and Cremorne, Sydney.

 

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.
