The image is part of an album belonging to Assistant Paymaster John Hynes, containing a total of 143 photographs documenting various locations visited during the voyage.
The album, with its green board covers and gold blocked design, provides a glimpse into the mid-part of the expedition, showcasing places such as St Vincent, Cape Town, Fiji, Manila, and more. Some photographs have been copied for preservation.
Among the highlights are images of St Pauls Rocks, Kerguelen Island, Tonga, Banda Islands, and Yokosuka dry dock. Additionally, there are group portraits and a photo of Will Adams' tomb included in this historical collection.
