Summary

[General description] The ketch Lulu, taking on cargo at Ardrossan Jetty. Note how the bags are being slid down into the hold on a chute. The Lulu was one of South Australia's 'mosquito' fleet of coastal ketches which picked up wheat, barley and salt from ports around the Spencer and St. Vincent's Gulfs and transported them to Port Adelaide to be exported or for local markets. Captain Thomas Bernard Garnaut was operator and part-owner from the early twenties until she was beached in the Port River and subsequently broken up in 1937. [On back of photograph] 'Ardrossan / Jan. 1928 / reproduced in the "Chronicle" for Jan. 28, 1928'.
