As an image comment this picture is a new early photo Leith Harbor showing the first station. After the avalanche in 1929, which claimed three lives, then station vlyttet towards photography bottom margin. The site of the old station was subsequently used as a scrap of space for old, outdated or broken equipment from station. Mechanics and service representative often went away on Jericho to look for parts that could be used.
Transport ship in the foreground can be Coronda (I) while in the background you can see the floating factory ship Horatio with its characteristic sailing ship bow, which burned down and was destroyed in the harbor of Leith Harbor in 1916. This date photograph to sometime between 1911 and 1916.
