English: This photograph depicts the four-masted German barque PAMIR in Sydney Harbour, probably during its 1947 visit. It was the flagship for Sydney's Australia Day regatta, which was held on the public holiday on 27 January 1947. The vessel, along with a naval gunboat, was moored at Kurraba Point and acted as the starting and finishing line for some 2,000 participants of the 111th Anniversary Regatta.
