For Sepia Saturday 167 we are beside a river or a bay. There are trees, houses, a pier and a steamer. There is also a powerful clue to the exact location because etched into the emulsion of the glass plate negative is the word "Mosman". Mosman is a suburb of Sydney Australia and in this picture we see it as it was about 100 years ago, long before it was absorbed into the growing city. The photograph is part of the collection of the Powerhouse Museum which has been made available via Flickr Commons. Our thanks to Sepian Kathy Matthews for suggesting this as our theme image for this week. You might want to go with boats, water, steamers, piers or writing on photographs : or you might want to paddle your photographic boat in an entirely different direction. This is Sepia Saturday, the choice is yours. All you need to do is to post your post on or around Saturday 9th March 2013 and then add a link to the list below.
And here is our usual preview of what is in store over the next couple of weeks.
168 : Nominated by Sepian John Newmark, this photograph of the Potsdam Conference could make you think of meetings, round tables, famous events, photographers being photographed or almost anything else.
169 : Nominated by Sepian Postcardy, here is a picture of lots of people taking photographs of cherry blossom in Washington. There are all sorts of possibilities here : blossom, monuments, photographers being photographed (again).

Well I never; it pays to "Be Prepared"
Yo Ho-ho & a bottle of Rum!
Anchors aweigh!
The Afram River and Freedom School - 1964. And I'm early!
Thanks, Alan! I am going to do two posts this week, and here is the first one ... Some Letsom Letters vintage postcards.

The rain is back and so I return (early and on topic!!) to sepia territory after one day of sunnyday neighborhood shutterbugging.
This time we're on holiday in Australia the 1930s.
English and Norwegian shots this week.
So glad to have a chance to share these 1904 remains of photos.
Okay, my second one is now posted ... some pictures and history about the 1927 lighthouse tender U.S. Wakerobin turned into a haunted tourist attraction, The U.S.S. Frightliner.

Here again...short of comment as usual.
I got Sea Fever this week!
A mammoth post from me this week, I'm afraid. I hope you can persevere till the end - you will be rewarded.
I almost missed the boat on this one, but I have some damaged photos worth sharing.
You'll have to read all the way to the end to see the tie to this week's prompt.
I am afraid that my contribution this week reflects the fact that it was written between reading chapters of William Shirer's magnificent "Berlin Diary"
I'm afraid I have no Australian landscape photos, so all I can offer is a widescreen photo of a forgotten orchestra.
I'm asking for some Sepian input, but not in the usual sense. Let's have some fun with these three snapshots I have found.
I mamaned to "double theme" this week with some ships and some water. Not difficult I guess as not many pictures of ships in dry docks in my collection.
err, completely off-topic as usual from me
I'm back with several honeymoon photos including bodies of water
Love those old steamboats! I've got a little one to post.
I'm afraid I'm stuck in a series and can't escape. Waiting to be told "enough of these people already!!!" I imagined a way to make it fit the theme though.
A vintage snapshot from Hong Kong Harbor in 1945.
'Come with me, my love, to the sea, the sea of love' started playing in my mind when I saw the inspiration image, and it reminded me of pics of my mom and dad when they were young. Thanks for the inspiration!
Cheers,
Jennifer
Bon Voyage!!!

Oboy, I just love it when the prompt sends me to exactly the right photo in my family archives! Thanks, Alan!
No vintage photos this week, but memories of Down by the Riverside.
People on boats? No problem!
Boats in Brittany this week :o)
I am finally now on board for this water thing. I need to start earlier in the week to start writing and photo searching.
In my opinion you are mistaken. Write to me in PM, we will discuss.
I think, that you commit an error. Write to me in PM.
I would like to talk to you on this question.
On mine the theme is rather interesting. I suggest you it to discuss here or in PM.
It has surprised me.

My ship has finally sailed! :-)
My ships arrived at port a little late.
Mom and a ship off Navy Pier in Chicago.
Me being here is Karen's fault.
