Well, almost at the end of my work-imposed exile from serious posting!
I've just uploaded a new album containg more photographs taken by my grandfather (or his mates using his camera) whilst enjoying the life of a weekend sailor in the early part of last century. The earliest photo is from 1910 and the later ones from around 1920 when the then Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) paid a Royal Visit to Australia and met my grandfather onboard the yacht Sweetheart (featured in Album I).
Album II also contains photographs of other boats that my grandfather crewed on or that his friends sailed on at that time plus more images of the bay. Aside from Sweetheart, he spent most of his time aboard Dream.
Beautiful photos from a very different time.
