Considering it's now a Benedictine Convent I'd say there are still no admirals to be seen.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Sharon Corbet Well done Sharon, so date is post 1886.
Sharon Corbet said:
Closest I can get to a streetview.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Sharon Corbet I had thought I would be opening the "no longer there" album for this one, very happy that it can stay in built heritage.
Andy Brill said:
A thing of beauty - proportioned and ample verandas with cast or wrought iron railings and a widows walk!

Oh lovely! So much action here. I think that is a White Star line pennant on one of the wee ferrying tenders against the quay. (I can't get the notes to move into place this morning!)

I supect for vintage she was this ship en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warspite_(1893) which began life as HMS Hermione and was renamed HMS Warspite. But according to Wiki there were nine ships with that name. She could be the next one that was launched in 1913.

It's a pre-dreadnought ship, anyway, so 1893 is plausible.
Vab2009 said:
The name on the closest paddle steamer seems to be ".......... Fox"
derangedlemur said:
It's also a cruiser rather than a battleship. In fact, it looks very like the refitted 1884 Warspite: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warspite_(1884). Scrapped in 1905.
