The public funeral of Commodore James Goodenough, who was killed on the island of Santa Cruz, took place at North Sydney on 24 August. It was one of the largest funerals seen in the colony. The steam ferry Transit ferried the bodies of Goodenough and two sailors killed in the same skirmish, from HMS Pearl to Milsons Point, where the cortege proceeded by foot to North Sydney Cemetery. In the background can be seen Commodore Goodenough's flagship HMS Pearl with crossed yards, laid up in Farm Cove.
