Miscellaneous and Oddities
Although there are only 30 odd images in this section, they are fascinating. From an Army DUKW at work in Lismore floods to a small loaded flood boat with crew to collision damage on sea going ships to a light ship, to an oil rig loaded on a large ship there is something unusual about every image. From the 1930s there’s a flying boat in Farm Cove, just arrived from the UK.
A seaman feeds a mollyhawk on the wing at sea. The inside of a Japanese midget submarine is very tight and there is an 1846 (!) photo of a very early steam paddle tug. … and there’s more.
