Clipper Ship 'South Australian'
This lithograph depicts a port broadside view of the clipper ship ‘South Australian’, flying the ‘Devitt & Moore’ house flag. A boat is coming alongside the ship. To the left is a smaller sailing vessel. Further vessels and a hilly coastline are visible in the distance.

Devitt and Moore, Owners, Mr. W. Pile, Builder, and the Officers of the Ship.’
