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.

A dashing fashionable Irish American. Very well dressed, right to that bowler hat.

Patrick Joseph "Patsy" Donovan (March 16, 1865 – December 25, 1953) was an Irish-American right fielder and manager in Major League Baseball who played for several teams from 1890 to 1907, most notably the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals. He batted .300 lifetime and set a major league record for career games in right field, as well as retiring among the career leaders in total games (5th, 1813), assists (9th, 264) and double plays (5th, 69) as an outfielder. Donovan batted and threw left-handed. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patsy_Donovan

He could have been portrayed by Paul Newman in a movie.
