Australian Departing Farewell Farewells Goodbye Ormonde Quay Quay Side Steam Ship Streamer Streamers Sydney Waving
EDITORS COMMENTS
R.M.S. Ormonde Leaving Sydney Harbour: A Farewell to Australia's Beloved Steamship This evocative photograph captures the moment the R.M.S. Ormonde bids farewell to Sydney, Australia, as it sails out of the picturesque harbor. The steamship, adorned with a mass of streamers and pennants, cuts through the calm waters, leaving a trail of white wake behind. The quay side is filled with a crowd of waving Australians, their faces etched with a mix of sadness and excitement, as they bid farewell to the vessel that had brought them news, supplies, and connections to the world beyond. The R.M.S. Ormonde was a regular visitor to Sydney, making the long voyage from the UK several times a year. For many Australians, the ship represented a link to their homeland, a lifeline that brought much-needed goods and news from the mother country. The sight of the Ormonde leaving the harbor was a poignant reminder of the long separation that many Australians endured. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when travel was a long and arduous journey, and communication with the outside world was limited. It also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Australian people, who faced the challenges of isolation and separation with resilience and determination. The R.M.S. Ormonde may have departed, but its memory lives on in the hearts and minds of those who witnessed its farewell.
