This photograph records the waterfront clutter at East Circular Quay in September 1873. In the foreground, delivery vehicles, including a baker's cart from Patrick Freehill's bakery in North George Street, queue to board the Milsons Point paddle steamer Transit. On the right is the castellated tower of Fort Macquarie, demolished in 1901 for the electric tram sheds, which in turn were demolished for the Sydney Opera House in 1958. Barely visible in the right background is HMS Clio, which left Sydney in October 1873.
