That poster (see note) refers to the 'St. Osyth' if my eyes do not deceive me. Looks like she might be the second/third one along with the black funnel. She broke speed records on a voyage to Australia in 1875. See full details in this Trove article which has an excellent illustration, technical information, and a wonderful personal letter describing a the voyage from Australia to England - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/4766042

"St. Osyth was built by Mitchell & Co., Newcastle in 1873 for Watts, Millburn & Co.'s China tea trade. She was registered at 3541 tons gross. On 31st October 1874 she made a round voyage from London - Cape Town - Melbourne for Anderson, Anderson & Co. and on 15th May 1875, she started regular London - Cape Town - Melbourne - Sydney sailings for the Colonial Line. Her last sailing on this route started on 30th June 1877 and in 1879, she was sold to R. Rubbatino of Genoa and renamed Singapore." From - commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:St._Osyth_(ship,_1873)

Great image! Out of curiosity to see what this image might look like colorized, I took the liberty of d/ling a copy of your image & ran it through the "In Color" rapid colorizing process at MyHeritage website (which I am a subscribed member of). It doesn't look too bad for a few minutes work?
Keep up with the great posts - love this old heritage stuff!
Cheers,

Mr French / Lawrence was up something very tall which is not there anymore. I wonder what it was? -

Looks like it was the tower just glimpsed on the right in the neighbouring photo - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000330662

High probability camera location (54.99184, -7.32115) an upper floor of the Abercorn Factory with camera pointing close to due east. The foreground bridge is Bridge Street.
Wikipedia says the Waterside was on the east bank of the Foyle so that makes it the far bank from the photo.
I had planned to get the bus from Sligo to Derry for train to Belfast for a steam excursion to Whitehead but the RPSI knew I was coming and cancelled it. In the event I had to get back to UK due to a couple of urgent events (in the end not serious) and booked and flew out of knock within 3 hours, forgetting to check in while photoing Kennedy's at doocastle instead! Luckily staff at Knock great & got me on!😄
On reflection this analysis may be total rubbish.😭 -

The brideg seems to be the twin-deck Carlisle Bridge (opened 1863; replaced by the current Craigavon Bridge in 1936) - northernscrivener.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-carlisle-bridg...

Deirge Del So the photograph has been taken from the city side as it says 'Waterside from Derry'. That means the railway that can be seen is the Great Northern.
