WHAT IS GOING ON !! Dismantling the Baths?

#1 Post by cobba » Tue Jul 12, 2011 9:10 am

Two photo postcards of Sandy Bay I think ? First has a diver inheavy gear and the hoist is lifting a beam. 2nd card seems to close to the shore dismantling a structure.
ANY IDEAS OR KNOWLEDGE ON THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE GREAT ?

Cheers Kerry

They are very interesting photos Kerry, thank you for posting them. The shore is facing the wrong way for it to be at the Sandy Bay Baths....I would
'place' the scene just off one of the commercial slipways at Battery Point.

Is there any indication of a date on either of the cards? For instance, if there is a Kodak Austral 'stamp box' with solid dots in the corners,
that would indicate that the photos pre-date 1915.
