            The Liberian-registered bulk carrier Mineral Transporter moored at the Overseas Terminal at Sydney's Circular Quay.  Not in any way a common or everyday thing to see such a ship in this location. 

Nevertheless, a reminder of the time when Sydney Harbour was once a working port - although presumably Botany Bay may have been the ultimate destination for this vessel to load its cargo.

The ferry closest to the camera is the 1913-built wooden-hulled Karingal.
