The picture is in Sydney Harbour

Hello John. The location is Sydney Australia and the ship is most likely the Howard Smith Ltd. tanker CANOPUS, built 1986, 54880grt, which sailed for that firm until sold in 1996. She was later chartered by a group of Australian oil companies from her Greek owners for a 12-month period in 1997, sailing as ELLI with an Australian crew but under the flag of Liberia.
