I don't think its a Royal Yacht with those huge (ridiculous!) cannon. How about HMS Howe (1885)? Stationed in Ireland 1896-1901, [ed.] as Port Guardship at Queenstown.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Howe_(1885)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I don't think the Royal yacht would have so many big guns? The Megazoom link above ain't working BTW.

[Queenstown Harbor. County Cork, Ireland] (LOC)

Mr.TinMD said:
That's definitely a British protected or second-class cruiser in classic Victorian colors (black, white and buff) in the harbor. Can't figure out which class, though.

Queenstown properly known as Cobh (pronounced "cove") nowadays.
Gordon Kinsella said:
A view from Queenstown to Her Majesty's shipyard at Haulbowline. Founded by Oliver Cromwell as a victualling base for the English Navy. Most of the buildings are built from Limestone quarried from the Island. This view is taken from North to South and also overlooks Roches point Lighthouse, Fort Davis, Fort Camden and the spike Island Star Fort & Prison. The Island has held the Royal Navy, Irish Coastal Marine Service and to date the Irish Naval Service.
