Aberdeen. Iron beams, sometimes incorrectly described as a composite ship.] A researcher indicates that the port could be Circular Quay in Sydney. The large warehouse could be the Commissariat Stores. The church tower that can be seen between the forward and centre masts is almost certainly St Phillips Church which was constructed in 1856 on Church Hill.
