This print captures the historic moment when the RSS Endeavour, a vessel from the Singapore Navy, gracefully enters Sydney Harbour on October 4,2013. The ship's arrival marked the commencement of the Fleet Review, an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first Royal Australian Navy fleet unit's arrival in Sydney waters. As this remarkable image showcases, numerous ships from various nations including China, Thailand, United States, Malaysia, France, Japan and Britain (Australia's former colonial power) sailed through the heads to join 16 majestic tall ships from around the world. Together they formed an awe-inspiring display that would later participate in a ceremonial fleet review on October 5th. Photographed by Greg Wood for Agence France-Presse (AFP), this horizontal print beautifully captures both the grandeur of these naval vessels and their significance in honoring Australia's rich maritime history. The composition allows viewers to appreciate not only the imposing presence of each ship but also highlights their harmonious convergence within Sydney Harbour. Wood's skillful capture immortalizes this momentous occasion and serves as a testament to international cooperation and camaraderie among naval forces worldwide. This photograph is a visual reminder of Australia's enduring relationship with its global counterparts while celebrating its own proud naval heritage.
