ORESTES of Liverpool at Cremorne Point, Sydney Harbour

Frederick Wilkinson took this photograph of the ORESTES anchored off Cremorne Point, Sydney at 2:05pm on Saturday afternoon 11 April 1931 aboard a ferry from Mosman to Circular Quay.

 

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.
