196 x 135 mm. Showing the sailing ship 'Eastern Star' beached on Back (South) Beach, with spectators on the sands watching the efforts of a group of labourers to moor the ship securely. In the background are the North Pier, the harbour entrance and the Bluff. The ship was probably wrecked during the same storm which beached the 'Surprise' in 1880. |
