SS PORT NICHOLSON of London
Frederick Wilkinson took this photograph of SS PORT NICHOLSON anchored in Athol Bight (near Bradleys Head), Sydney at 10:10am on Sunday 12 April 1931 aboard a ferry from Taronga Park to Circular Quay.
This photograph is part of the F G Wilkinson Photograph Collection, comprising more than 700 glass plate negatives of ships in Sydney Harbour between 1919 and 1936. The collection provides an extensive and well-documented coverage of the changing styles of shipping in the port of Sydney before the gradual decline of the coastal trade, and in a period which was probably the peak reached by commercial shipping in Australia. The backgrounds also reveal the changing face of the city and harbour foreshores.
The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly.
