Summary

[On front of photograph] 'Port Lincoln Jetty, 1897.' [On back of photograph] 'The Ferret at the jetty.' [General description] Looking along the jetty from the shore, the S.S. Ferret, an iron coastal steamship, can be seen at its mooring. Being sail-assisted, it has two masts, unlike the steamer seen further out to sea, which has three. (See B 33393 for a photo of the wreck of the Ferret in 1920.) In the foreground a small sailboat is moored at the jetty, sitting well above the waterline as the tide has receded [duplicate copy at PRG 458/1/1/118].
