"... On 16 November 1898, Harrods debuted England's first "moving staircase" (escalator) in their Brompton Road stores; the device was actually a woven leather conveyor belt-like unit with a mahogany and "silver plate-glass" balustrade.[22] Nervous customers were offered brandy at the top to revive them after their 'ordeal'. ..."

beachcomber australia A "moving staircase" is impressive, I grant you. But did they have a "movable boudoir"? I think not!

Looks c. 1880

From the surrounding photos, it looks like 22 June 1897, Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Jubilee_of_Queen_Victoria

Didn't we go there with the Dillons previously ?

Or not?

Edit - Dillons in 1897 -

"Known as ‘Dr Tim’, O’Leary was a highly competent doctor, especially skilled in obstetrics. He empathised with his patients, who appreciated his sense of humour as well as his diligence in caring for them. Red-headed and voluble, he had a fiery temper that upset some people. He was keen on horses and riding and at one time held an amateur jockey’s licence. Survived by his wife and their daughter and three sons, he died of chronic lymphatic leukaemia on 20 July 1987 at Runaway Bay and was buried in Allambie Garden of Memories cemetery, Nerang. Two memoirs, North and Aloft and Western Wings of Care, edited by John Pearn and Graham Anderson, were published in 1988." Source: adb.anu.edu.au/biography/oleary-timothy-joseph-tim-15407

The horses seem to be watching in sympathy.

I think the twin-funnel, tug-like vessel is pumping water out of the part-submerged vessel - the tug might be registered in Sunderland, but I can't make out the name

The cart on the jetty seems to be on a flat skid, which runs on rails along the jetty.

EDIT: The man behind the horse at the landward end of the jetty seems to be leaning on an empty skid - the cross-rail he's leaning on would support the shafts of the cart

The first edition Ordnance Survey 6" map shows lots of collieries along the coast between Fair Head and Ballycastle, so it seems likely that coal brought by cart to the jetty at Ballycastle, where the skids on the jetty allowed coal to be tipped directly into the ships.
The collieries seem to have worked the coastal cliffs and had great names:
Salt Pans Colliery
White Mine Colliery
Falbane Colliery
North Star Colliery
West Mine Colliery
Lagglass Colliery
Goldnamuck Colliery
Pollard Colliery
Griffin Colliery
Gobb Colliery
Portnagree Colliery

The wreck may well be that of the Grimsby steam trawler Starling which sank in the harbour in 1902.
