ss Hylas

Watercolour by Hallet Robertson Bartlett, depicting the SS HYLAS anchored off Cremorne Point waiting for papers to go to England.

The vessel has a grey hull with a red stripe in the centre and is flying the Red Ensign.
A gangway has been lowered for a white launch that is approaching the vessel.
Cremorne Point is in the background.
On upper left corner, the Houston Line house flag.
Handwritten text under the image reads: SS Hylas - Houston Line - off Cremorne Pt - waiting to get her papers to go to England.

William S Gilbert is believed to have been employed as a Mess Room Steward on ss Hylas between 1912 and 1914.
