A fabulous shot from 1895! For more from the Australian National Maritime Museum, click here. My thanks to Dale Appleton for spotting this one – and for saving my blushes at various times.
Dale (see his comment below) tells me that you can read about this race for sailing canoes on the ANMM website.
The ANMM have a pointer to the results for the race, “Canoes not exceeding 16ft.” published in the Evening News on the link below.
