This glass plate negative depicts a large group of uniformed Australian Sea Cadets (also formally known as Naval Reserve Cadets and now known as the Australian Navy Cadets) in an open boat near the Squadron's headquarters in Kirribilli. In the background to the left, a whale's jawbones are visible and form an archway to the Squadron's main building. The jawbones originally came from a whaling station at Twofold Bay, on the south coast of New South Wales. This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
