  Thanks Mr Hall for the date! - Saturday, 24 January 1891.

  LOTTIE won the race! Hooray! Read All About It (as if it was two days ago) - SMH 26/1/1891 p.3 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13811975 Can anyone make out where in the harbour this was?

HESPERUS, J.H. Barrett commands

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• beachcomber australia said:

  Unfortunately not the HESPERUS of the famous Longfellow poem and saying 'The Wreck of the Hesperus'. Completed in 1874, the first iron ship built for the Orient Line, she was a regular visitor to Australia. More here - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63751723

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Yes that would have been interesting - Longfellow's 'The Wreck of the Hesperus' has certainly entered pop culture over the years. You know you've made it if both Mad Magazine and Daffy Duck are using your material :)

• beachcomber australia said:

  Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Not to mention the Marx Brothers and the Simpsons too! Of interest is that this HESPERUS was sold to Russian owners in Odessa in 1899, and was renamed GRAND DUCHESS MARIA NIKOLAEVNA after the Tsar's third daughter, born in 1899 - she was known as the 'beautiful' one - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchess_Maria_Nikolaevna_of_R...(1899%E2%80%931918) More history and London to Sydney times - www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Ships/Merchant/Sail/H/Hesperus(1873).html

  beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber! This has all been entered in our records. Got lost for a while there reading all the related history - poem & the life and death of Maria, very sad.

  beachcomber australia Excellent! Posters are unbeatable for dating... :)

• beachcomber australia said:

  Carol Maddock And a big thank you to megazoom™. Friday 1st May did happen in 1891 - I checked. Are we at the railway station in Kinsale? maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,564371,550918,12,9

  Possibly an Irish Terrier? (Many dog breeds have changed in the intervening 100 years...)

  beachcomber australia Not definitive, but L_CAB_05400 and L_CAB_05401 are Kinsale Harbour, and L_CAB_05402 is Kinsale Barracks.
