Are there any living relatives that can identify the well dressed man facing the camera, if so, could you contact me or email Suzanne Patterson on (sapatt17@gmail.com).
In this photograph we are able to determine that the ship has wet decks and the cargo derricks are not rigged with wire cables. This would indicate that the vessel has been made secure for sea and is about to sail for a lengthy leg of the voyage, or the photo was taken when the Waratah was deep sea.
COLOURED SYMBOLS.
No1. Black oval circle is the bridge bell.
No2. Green square is the builders brass plate.
No3. Purple arrow shows an escape ladder in case of fire from the upper decks down, it was this ladder that was broken off on the lower deck by heavy seas.
No4. White circle shows a deck light on the lower cross tree with a streak of rust.
No5. Blue stars show canvas winch covers.
No6. Yellow arrow pointing to number 1 hatch coaming.
No7. Red rectangle shows a screw down mushroom vent above the deck equipment locker, and paint store.
Your help in this matter would be appreciated, Stanley Robinson.
