KING CADWALLON in Sydney Harbour

Frederick Wilkinson took this photograph from Dawes Point of the KING CADWALLON arriving in Sydney Harbour from Everett with a cargo of timber on Saturday morning 19 January 1924. The KING CADWALLON is listing heavily to port.

 

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.
