DescriptionThis image depicts the Orient Steam Navigation Company's SS ORIZABA dressed as flagship at the Anniversary Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour on 26 January 1888. The vessel was too large to be moored at the traditional spot at Cremorne Point, so it was moored between Fort Denison and Kirribilli Point. The ferry to the right is SS WALLABY.
