POST-WAR IMAGES OF THE HARBOUR
In 1956, my father Robert Walding was appointed as an electrician to the Steamships Trading Company (STC) workshop at Port Moresby. Some of the photos he took of the harbour in September 1956 are shown below. His Kodachrome transparencies have retained all of their brilliant colour over the past 50 years. Kodachrome always did emphasis the blues. They are copyright. Email Richard Walding for details. In 1956 STC was the junior brother in the triumvirate of Burns Philip, W.R. Carpenter and Steamships. This page is linked to my Port Moresby Indicator Loops webpage.
