Here's a three of my favourites. All have an Australian connection. I'm willing to bet no-one can name all three. In the last photo it is the ship at the rear.

Don't mind the odd ship picture.

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Two out of three Duncan. I'm impressed. 
However Ned was a country boy. Rum, sodomy and the lash just wasn't his style. More genteel sports like bank robbery were his go.

Can't sort No:2 out G, is it 'famous' or an example of a type - unless it was used at Gallipolie

Re: Ship watching
Definitely famous Duncan in its own right - at least in Australia (and isn't that all that really matters.)
Probably not what you would call well known although it involved in what is probably the most successful Australian military operation ever.
No Gallipoli connection, a bit later than that.
