She presented the ensign on behalf of the women residents on the Parramatta River who were the donors of the ensign. In 1911 the HMAS Parramatta was the 'first unit of the Eastern Fleet of the Empire.' The photo shows Mrs Waugh on a stage hoisting the flag, surrounded by guests and sailors. It was framed in a green mount with an inscription below giving the speech she gave before hoisting the flag.
