    Early today. Where's this - New Ross?
  • derangedlemur said:
    I think perhaps yes: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000590089

    Or Drogheda?
  • Swordscookie said:
    Sharon Corbet I think you have it Sharon! I was looking for a bridge but the nearest one to where the ships were moored is relatively new so I was looking in vain! This would have been taken from the heights near where the railway station is now!
  • derangedlemur said:
    Sharon Corbet Or that either.

    💡Aha! Mr French / Lawrence took another Imperial photo a little to the right, showing another paddle steamer, the 'Kathleen Mavourneen' (1885 - 1902), earliest and latest dates so far? L_IMP_3824 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000327017 WIki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Kathleen_Mavourneen_(1885) "... a paddle steamer passenger vessel operated by the Drogheda Steam Packet Company from 1855[typo for 1885?} to 1902 and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway from 1902 to 1903. ..." And there is a reverse view with more clues - L_IMP_3826 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000191729

    Quite the industrial zone: on the 25" there is the Vitriol and Manure works, next the gasworks (I see a gasometer), then St. Mary's Mills (Spinning and weaving), then a Brewery and finally an iron works. All replaced by Scotch Hall shopping centre and carpark now.

    St. Mary's Catholic Church above the word Manure was completed in 1889 per the NIAH.

Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • beachcomber australia said:
    That has got to join up with, if not an exact panorama - from the Hill & Clark warehouse -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    And I reckon she is the ORIENT even more now! The bridge / wheelhouse looks just like -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    And I am 90% sure that lifebelt says "ORIENT GLASGOW" (see note). Apologies - getting too EXCITED. It is great to see all the detail of this wonderful ship so close up - the sailors in the bosun's chairs, the fellow scaring seagulls, etc, etc !!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Glad you enjoyed! The fuller picture of Circular Quay is coming together. We agree that this is almost certainly ORIENT.
