FWIW, i have a copy of "Picture History of the Cunard Line 1840-1990", by Frank Braynard and Bill Miller, and on page 9, the entry for the Lucania uses this same picture and states that she is anchored in Liverpool.

TY Peter, I looked at the website you posted and agree, most of her schedules were set in the northern hemisphere. She had a rather short life as well so I dont think she came down to our part of the world according to the info you presented Peter, ty for that...Gordy

Gordy and Chris,
Enlarging the photo on a big screen seems to show the Stars and Stripes flying atop the foremast so could in fact be a US port - New York or Boston ?

Hi Kenno and Chis, it was listed as a late Allan Green image and most times he operated out of Melbourne, maybe he had a trip away or something like that, I will amend it to show location unknown

Kenno is right she never visited Australia,probably a neg Allan acquired or swapped.

Location is Liverpool.

Gordy are you sure about the location being Melbourne. The shoreline and large tender perhaps point more to Liverpool?
