Taken from a very small prison ship that dumped me in Vaucluse - finally flogged my way to the north shore - woohoo

No, it was B/W and has been hand coloured. You can see the crayon marks!
Nice composition Chris.

I thought convicts were illiterate? Colourilliterate? Actually, what kind of boat was this Chris? Looks old.

Looks like a scan Chris. When was this taken? .... not many boats on the harbour. Good contextual composition.
Cheers,

No wonder there's no Shangri'la or 4 Seasons Hotels, Toaster and the other 'modern' buildings littering the foreshore.
Is my perspective right and does this pre-date Blues Point Tower or would it be further to the right of the pic?
Nice shot

Patrick,
I'd say further to the right in this one. Not a whole lot mind you.
