Oh lovely! So much action here. I think that is a White Star line pennant on one of the wee ferrying tenders against the quay. (I can't get the notes to move into place this morning!)

I supect for vintage she was this ship en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warspite_(1893) which began life as HMS Hermione and was renamed HMS Warspite. But according to Wiki there were nine ships with that name. She could be the next one that was launched in 1913.

It's a pre-dreadnought ship, anyway, so 1893 is plausible.

The name on the closest paddle steamer seems to be ".......... Fox"

It's also a cruiser rather than a battleship. In fact, it looks very like the refitted 1884 Warspite: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warspite_(1884). Scrapped in 1905.

This place is called Cobh now and it looks almost exactly the same. It is also the last port ever visited by the Titanic before she headed out into the open Atlantic ocean (April 11, 1912).

Cobh was the departure point for 2.5 million of the six million Irish people who emigrated to North America between 1848 and 1950. These included Annie Moore and her two brothers – the first immigrants to be processed on Ellis Island in New York. On 11 April 1912 Queenstown was the final port of call for the RMS Titanic as she set out across the Atlantic on her ill-fated maiden voyage. The RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-Boat off the Old Head of Kinsale on May 7, 1915. The survivors were brought to the town of Cobh, and over one hundred victims lie buried in the Old Church Cemetery about a mile north of the town. The chilling last words of 19-year-old Jeremiah Burke from Glanmire, Co. Cork, were slipped into a bottle not read until a year after his death on the Titanic. Now, the emotional artifact is on display at Cobh Heritage Centre. Using the bottle of holy water that his mother gave to him when she saw him off in Cobh, Burke used one of his very own shoelaces to tie it up and threw the letter overboard. The letter simply reads: "From Titanic, goodbye all, Burke of Glanmire, Cork.”
