    www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=12772 Post-1914, looks like.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur 1914 is the very latest date for all of our Lawrence photos.
  • derangedlemur said:
    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.

A sharp bowed paddle steamer with raked masts and smoke stack!

    The name corrected (Mi)lford written on its bow.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The ship's name ends in "-lford" which may make it the PS Milford which was scrapped in 1901.
  • O Mac said:
    She was a Great Western Railway ship. One of three paddle steamers ordered from William Simons & Co. of Renfrew in 1873. She was badly damaged in a storm and broken up in 1901. PS Waterford and PS Limerick were sister ships. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Western_Railway_ships
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a reverse view, but it's hard to see much as the ship is in the way.
