Our first non-clydebuilt steamer. This one seems to be from Liverpool (I'm waiting for the evidence to download).
derangedlemur said:
"A new steamer built at Liverpool P.S. Sybil (233 tons) replaced P.S. Meteor and became the youngest packet vessel at the Milford station in 1827. She was also the fastest steamer on the crossing with a record of 8 hours 13 minutes for a sailing between Milford and Dunmore East. " Hmm. I'm not sure that ship looks 70 years old.

This'd be one possibility. There's mountains in the distant background, but the depth of field is so different it's hard to say if they're the right ones. www.google.ie/maps/@52.1034094,-7.8664118,3a,52.9y,361.69... OSI: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,609130,594623,10,7

The house on the hill looks like this one: www.waterfordmuseum.ie/exhibit/web/DisplayImage/K0L7HkqaX... Which matches the OSI, but not at all the NIAH: www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... edit: "The house was built in the late 18th century and demolished in the 1960's. The building to the right of the photograph behind the house is still in existence." Which would explain it. Here it is in Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@52.1056581,-7.8690013,3a,64.6y,48.23h...

The Lemur's 'house on the hill', Dromana, is described in this 1929 article via Trove - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/107343113 Including - "... there lived and died the celebrated 'old Countess of Desmond'. According to one account, this remarkable woman, at the age of 140, undertook the then difficult journey to London to demand fiom James I. the restoration of her jointure. Another account makes her not quite so old, for it says she — Lived to the age of one hundred and ten, And died from a fall from a cherry-tree then.
