Ahoy Shipmates

Landing a naval brigade at Fann Cove and Woolloomooloo Bay the next day, the Fleet marched up Pitt Street, renamed American Avenue for the occasion. They marched through the city to Mrs. Macquarine's Point where lunch was served.



The next day railways excursions were planned to Newcastle and other destinations. At Newcastle station they were received by the Mayor, two brass bands and over 200,000 citizens.
