• Signatures / Inscriptions
  
  "J.Degotardi / Sydney / 287 George St" -- beneath title, on mount
  "Thomas Coke Burnell / from his affectionate cousins Adolphe & Margaret Reibins; in remembrance of his sojourn in Sydney from Dec. 1870 to Feb. 28th 1871" -- at right, on mount
• Date note
  
  Previously dated ca. 1870
  This image is pre-1865 (not ca. 1870): the photo shows the Water Police Station (built 1838) at the north eastern tip of Goat Island in an operational state as a Water Police Station, with its adjacent flag telegraph pole (erection of which is mentioned in documentary sources), and, the photo does not show the Artillery Sergeant's cottage constructed in 1865 when the Water Police were evicted from the island and the Imperial military took over the Water Police Station for use as a cartridge laboratory (and presumably removed the flag telegraph pole at the same time). -- Information supplied by Chery Kemp (2008)
