Yes I noticed the crowd on the fo'c's'le Rick, it's one of the things that make this pic so nostalgic.
I bet many members on this site can remember the excitement of admiring the view as you arrived in port, so many things to see and do! Regards Tony. |

Ok, thanks Chris, now I read the script again and see that the pic was taken by David Kirby of Hobart - so, one assumes, taken from a bridge at Hobart! Thanks, Rick

I think she is on charter to BHP of Australia, but the colurs might have faded so could also be ANL of Australia. |

Agree with all the comments so far Chris. A super image. Did you notice the four crew leaning over the bulwarks on the port side of the fo'c's'le; one on the starboard side, and Harry Tate (maybe) walking up the main deck, forward, ready to drop the hook?? Starboard anchor walked out. Is that a courtesy flag on the foremast, or pilot on board? Try as I might, I cannot guess where this photo was taken. A very long shot guess might be that with the Wilhelmsen charter (funnel colours) that it could be in Norway...maybe Tomas of Brevik Bridge might try a guess!
Thanks for this one! Regards, Rick |

Thank goodness for Russell & David Kirby for allowing you to post these remarkable images of vessels from bygone days. This image would have to be a classic
I saw service on a number of Park, Fort, and Oceans in those times. Thanks again Chris for these. Regards Portway Sydney Australia |

Yes, a very good indeed photo Chris.
It seems like she is steaming from below straight into the camera! |
