Summary

[General description] Buildings, inlcuding the Customs House, on North Parade and Wharf, Port Adelaide. John Whallin's Port Hotel is seen on the right. The ship at the wharf is the 'Royal Tar' which carried immigrants from Australia to Paraguay to form a utopian socialist colony. The 'Royal Tar' was a three-masted barque of 598 tons, built by John Campbell Stuart on the banks of the Nambucca River, New South Wales, and was the largest colonial-built ship up to the end of the 19th century.
