    "PRINTED ON ILFORD BROMIDE" - suggests this is a picture of a print and not an "original" negative - I've noticed a lot of these images seem to be like that. I guess it was fairly common to make "copies" like that back then?

    It appears that Alfonso XIII of Spain had a lot of ships named after him. This is not a warship and I reckon it is likely one of the two steamships mentioned at books.google.com/books?id=uQY4AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA1097&... in Commerce Reports of June 21, 1916. The first sank in 1915 in Santander harbor. The second was bought by the Spanish Compania Transatlantica from the Bermuda-Atlantic Steamship Co. of Toronto. It had been built in 1891 and had an extensive refit and alterations and in June 1916 had just passed her trials for use as a mail and passenger steamer.

    that is the ship mentioned earlier today in the wrecksite article. For whatever reason it doesn't display now but they had the same refit history

    I can't get that link to open for some reason.

    This is the Alfonso XIII that used to the Oceana and had been launched in 1890 as the Scot and which would go on to be the Vasco Nunez de Balboa "She had a clipper stem, two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 16 knots" says www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsS.shtml#scot
