DescriptionRMS NIAGARA leaving Sydney for Vancouver (8155633560).jpg
English: RMS NIAGARA is shown from the stern, leaving Sydney for Vancouver on Thursday 28 August 1924. The passenger liner was active on the Pacific trade route from 1912 until it was requisitioned for service during World War I and II. RMS NIAGRA was an Ocean liner launched on 17 August 1912 and used for transporting passengers and mail on the trans- Pacific trade route. It was built by John Brown & Company, Clydebank and owned by the Union Steam Ship Company. During World War II NIAGRA was in service with the Canadian-Australasian Line from Auckland, New Zealand, to Suva and Vancouver. It sank on 19 June 1940 after it struck a mine laid by Germans off the north coast of New Zealand.
Frederick Wilkinson (1901 - 1975) migrated to Australia from England in 1911. While working various jobs in and around central Sydney, Wilkinson acquired a camera and began taking photographs of vessels and harbour scenes. Many of his images were used by commercial photographers for souvenir postcards.
