Samuel Sweet
Captain Samuel White Sweet (1 May 1825 – 4 January 1886) was an English sea captain who settled in Australia in 1864, and was involved in the early colonization of the
Northern Territory. After the grounding of his ships ''Gulnare'' and ''Wallaroo'', for both of which he was held culpable, he turned his interest in photography from a serious hobby and part-time occupation to a profession. Sweet was a pioneer of Australian
landscape photography as an art form, and kept abreast of technical advances in the medium.
