www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=12772 Post-1914, looks like.

derangedlemur 1914 is the very latest date for all of our Lawrence photos.

It seems to be the same ship, so if Clydesite is correct, and they're claiming to have got hold of the original records, then this must be 1914 sometime.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
derangedlemur Would the mast on our Rothesay Bay support 5 sails (sheets?) as in the Clydesite image?
derangedlemur said:
There's four spars on each mast. Close enough, I reckon - the top one's probably some wee yoke that folds up or something, or they cut it down to four because of the cloth rationing. We've got an antipodean flag on it and everything else identifiable is the same. Edit: In fact, there's five spars on the forward mast.

Very similar to www.navsource.org/archives/12/1217998115.jpg "In Drydock No. 3 at the New York Navy Yard while undergoing repairs after her 1 January 1919 grounding off Fire Island. She was in drydock from 11 February to 10 May 1919. Note that the ship's armament has been removed. She has been partially repainted, but some of her World War I "dazzle" camouflage pattern is still visible on her forward superstructure. U.S. Navy photo NH 44747" www.navsource.org/archives/12/179981.htm

I think it is not the 'Marksworth' but the 'MERKSWORTH' a coastal trader (not a tug). It had a collision with the ferry 'Manly' off Bradleys Head on 18/12/1896. Adelaide Advertiser 23/12/1896 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/34568675 (the best of several contemporary newspaper articles). Hence repairs in dry dock (Sutherland Dock?). The 'Merksworth' was wrecked in 1898 off Stockton Beach - SMH 17/05/1898 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14147287

Swordscookie Ha! Fancy seeing you here swordscookie! Yes, I am all over these Australian 'mystery' photos like a rash, and need to get a life. They are almost laughably easy to find out about due to trove.nla.gov.au/ . The contemporary newspaper reports really give an extra dimension, or two. .

beachcomber australia Thank you again beachcomberaustralia for your tireless research. Trove is a fantastic resource and certainly does add a dimension to the photographs we may not have otherwise realised.
