Departure of the P&O RMS CHINA

This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William J Hall collection. The Hall collection provides an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races.

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.

    Got any more pics of RMS China hidden away out the back in a drawer? One taken in 1904 would be good. Port side preferably (!)...A while ago we were trying to prove that this ship couldn't be RMS China - www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/5352424755/
