  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  There is an old cable station in Waterville, Streetview, but this isn't it.

• Niall McAuley said:

  The NIAH dates the building at 1858, but does not know when the big ugly wings were added.

  There were only about a dozen 4-funnelled warships in the Royal Navy about the time of this photograph. They were all armoured cruisers. This ship looks as if it was HMS Euryalus, one of the Diadem Class of cruisers. Euryalus was based at Sydney on the Australian station between 1903 - 1905, so this is probably the period when this photo was taken.

• Picture Esk said:

  The ship in the foreground appears to be one of the Cadmus Class of steel screw sloops. This is probably HMS Clio which was commissioned in January 1904 and sent out to the Australian station. She arrived in Sydney on 9 May 1904 and left on 18 June 1904. There was only a three week period in May and June 1904 when both the Clio and Euryalus were together in Sydney Harbour.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Great stuff, Picture Esk. According to this Wikipedia article HMS Euryalus was involved in the Gallipoli campaign, and was the headquarters there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Euryalus_(1901)

• BobMeade said:

  Yes, thank you for that very useful information Picture Esk.

• rodcbutcher said:

  The position of masts and funnel on foreground ship looks out of proportion for HMS Clio - funnel is too far foward, as is midmast. Is this due to distance distortion ?
