An unknown photo taken c. perhaps 1918

The clue I have where this photo was taken is Scotland.

It comes out of the photo collection of my father and his immediate family who migrated, my father first by a few months, from Scotland to Australia in 1922 on the ship, the SS Sophocles.

That family's response to social media had they experienced it before their decease would likely be immersion in and enjoyment of it...after they recovered from the stunning shock that we share information about ourselves the world around, habitually every day, that travels virtually instantly and can be received, considered and replied to virtually instantly. The meaning of virtual will never be the same again.

The Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey supplied us in 1966 with a phrase we still use frequently in our discourse and a concept in the title of a book, The Tyranny of Distance, regards what he considered the central issue to the great majority of the population of people who populated Australia after the invasion constituted by the landing of the British in 1788 to form a colony, the day considered Australia Day. Professor Blainey thought it distance whether our preoccupation was distance from 'the homeland' whatever the land of our origin or the great distances between towns and cities and the transport of people, goods and services the length and breadth of Australia.

When the ships arrived in the colony in 1788 at Botany Bay, it was eleven ships and just over a thousand people.

the names of the ships , their details and the statistical composition of the persons aboard them
