Summary

View of ships in an unidentifed harbour. Notes on the back read 'Port Augusta / Tassies Jetty / Hackets Jetty / Coleman's Barge / Pekina with barge wool alongside / Coonatto in the distance / Steamers Royal Shepherd & Lubra'. A researcher has confirmed that this is the Port Augusta harbour, looking north-east. Ther term 'Steamers' refers to the two South Australian sailing steamships, the 'Lubra' and the 'Royal Shepherd', whose funnels can be seen. This area has been reclaimed and the modern wharf lies much further out in deeper water.
