Summary

[edit]



Description
English: The four-masted steel barque ELGINSHIRE was built in 1889 by Birrell, Stenhouse and Company for Thomas Law and Company, Glasgow. It was sold to shipbreakers in 1922 and broken up the following year.

This photograph depicts the four-masted barque ELGINSHIRE anchored in Double Bay possibly during its 1919 visit to Sydney. The vessel loaded a cargo of 4,000 tons of wheat bound for Europe. Before it arrived in Sydney, the vessel and its crew lead by Captain Dixon encountered a cyclone between Korea and Portland, Oregon.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
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.
