Watson's Bay, Sydney, 1885
Scope and Contents
190 x 140 mm. A view of the small village on the coast, with a church at the left of the picture, and what is probably a school at the right. The settlement was originally the point of inspection for ships' papers and for customs, being the first large sheltered anchorage for incoming vessels on the south side of the main harbour. The bay was named after Robert Watson, who became harbour-master in 1811. Its chief function now is that of Pilot Station.
