Vessels and spectators in Sydney Harbour

This photograph depicts a variety of vessels with spectators watching a rowing race in Sydney Harbour. There is a ferry listing in the background, which is possibly a Charles Rosman ferry.

 

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.
