From 1863 to the 1980's hundreds of pearling vessels worked the East and West coasts of Queensland, Torres Strait and for some years in the Aru Islands of Indonesia. Of these, we believe that there are only 14 identified Torres Strait pearling luggers, 1 former pearl shell carrier and 2 former Torres Strait missionary vessels remaining. TORRES PEARL Formerly named SEDNEY, the Torres Pearl is currently located in Tasmania in private ownership. She has an aft-wheelhouse and those lugger lines. TORRES HERALD Torres Herald was also built by Norman Wright and Sons with her last known location being when she sank in 2014 in the Calliope River near Gladstone.

Thinking Innisfallen. There are several other stereo pairs there, but I can't find a match for the boathouse. See the distant hills here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564217

Hmmm ...
There is a substantial "Boat House" marked on the 25" map, west of Ross Castle, on Ross Island. About here on the GoogleMapsSatellite which shows nothing - maps.app.goo.gl/kiLUkFwL4qNjBjQM7 -

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thanks, fixed above. Nothing to see except trees and rocks. But if you twiddle round into 3D the shape of the hills is similar and the sun is in the right place when looking sout-west.

I wonder is that the now-lost boathouse just downriver from Lord Brandon's cottage?
Here's a Streetview from the western shore of the Upper Lake, looking west - note the distinctive 'bump' to the left of the cloud-covered mountains - it has a steep step at right and a uniform slope at left, just like the bump to the left of the taller mountains in our boathouse photo.

Less than 100m NW of the point where Peng Shi took that panoramic image in 2023 is the site of a boathouse which lies 290m SW of Lord Brandon's Cottage - the boathouse is shown on the Ordnance Survey 6" map (1st edition), but it's just marked as a Quay on the last edition. The boathouse seems to be about 18m long on the first edition map, so it could be the one in the photo.
