Photograph - Steam Sloop Victoria, Jack GOULD
From a box of photographs in Nancy U'REN's papers used during research for her thesis, The Early Growth and Development of Sandridge (1976) and/or her book with Noel TURNBULL, A History of Port Melbourne (1983). Jack GOULD probably created this from a version of the photograph held by the Australian War Museum. This version is cropped a bit tighter than the version held at the Australian War Museum (AWM 300060) and does not include the caption.Black and white photograph of the steam sloop, Victoria, at Sandridge, decorated to welcome Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, November 1867.transport - shipping, steam sloop victoria, royal visits and occasions, prince alfred, nancy u'ren nee morris -
