Commonwealth

Believed to be circa 1909. The slip is at the Bulimba home of Norm's wife at Riverside Junction Quay and Brisbane Steets. We think the 3 boats are 22ft Gladys II (mast down),14ft Violet II and 10ft Commonwealth, all champions. Climbing down slip is xxx Wright. Standing in Commonwealth is N.R.Wright, and on the foredeck of Gladys xxx and Alex W sittig on Jetty with straw hat Lance Watts. Breeze NE (morning?) and Newstead House in the background. Site of the future Newstead yard under mountain in background.
