US barque Golden Gate (prob.) 1920s

This the American steel barque Golden Gate photographed by Allan C. Green in Australian waters (possibly in the 1920s). My restoration and colorization of an image in the Victoria State Library archive.

The 89,4 m, 2341 GRT ship, built by Whitehaven SB, Whitehaven (UK) for owner J. Herron & Co., was launched in 1888 as Lord Shaftesbury. She was sold to A.P. Rolph (US) in 1911 and renamed Golden Gate. Abandoned and deleted from the register in 1941.
