DescriptionA 35 mm Kodak nitrate film on a blue roll. The first few frames show a warship, possibly in Sydney Harbour. The rest of the film is a study of cats, sleeping and playing. A woman with her cat is in one scene. A note in the Hood ephemera collection suggests this is Samuel Hood's wife. It appears there was more to the reel showing shipping, and this was cut off the end of the reel. It appears to be from the 1920s or 30s.
