Greeting Card - Man and woman kissing across two vessels (1920s)

Photographer: Samuel J Hood | Australian National Maritime Collection: 00035634

This photograph features a man and a woman kissing, with the woman possibly on board the tug boat Champion. The Champion was built for J & A Brown of Newcastle, New South Wales in 1895 and has been described as Australia's foremost tug of its time. It was used for difficult and deep sea towing and salvage jobs. It went as far afield as New Zealand, Fiji, and New Caledonia in its career from 1895 to 1954.

The Samuel J Hood collection records an extensive range of maritime activity on Sydney Harbour. Hood was regarded as an important figure in early Australian photojournalism. Hood's maritime photographs are one of the most significant collections of such work in Australia.
