HMS HOOD in Sydney Harbour (8156163054)

This photograph depicts a closeup of the foremast of HMS HOOD on 13 April 1924. Frederick Wilkinson took this image from a ferry while travelling on Sydney Harbour. HOOD was flagship of the Royal Navy's Special Service Squadron from 1923 to 1924.
Frederick Wilkinson (1901 - 1975) migrated to Australia from England in 1911. While working various jobs in and around central Sydney, Wilkinson acquired a camera and began taking photographs of vessels and harbour scenes. Many of his images were used by commercial photographers for souvenir postcards.
