across Bass Strait. Oenone was a Linton Hope designed sloop-rigged yacht,
built in Hobart in 1913. The photographer was Henry Baily, son of Henry Hall Baily a Tasmanian portrait and landscape photographer who operated a photographic studio from Elizabeth and Liverpool Street, Hobart between 1865-1918.
