This view from Dawes Battery, past Campbell's Wharf to Circular Quay, can be dated to early-mid September 1873, as the
Haddon Hall from London is loading for San Francisco. Behind it is
Aviemore and the ship in the background, in front of Customs House, is
La Hogue. Both
Aviemore and
La Hogue left for London on 13 September 1873. Sadly, this must be one of the last photographs taken by Merlin. He contracted pneumonia and died a fortnight later, aged 43, on 27 September 1873.
