| Description : |
Records comprising 91 volumes of photographs of ships, organised under type of ship, or ownership, and with basic caption information. The volumes were compiled by shipping enthusiast Arthur Edwardes, using original prints if available, but most commonly copy prints. This photograph from the State Library's Edwardes Collection (PRG 1373) shows a shipping scene in Port Augusta, late 19th century. The ships pictured are the City of Adelaide (built 1864) and the Romanoff (built 1874). In the foreground with the smoking chimney are the premises of John Dunn & Co, millers and grain merchants who opened the mill in 1880. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1926. |
