  Stunning

  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.

  Launched 1885 in Belfast as the 'Polly Woodside' after owner, William Woodside's wife Polly. Renamed 'Rona by New Zealand owners in 1904. Operated in general cargo trade, initially to South America, then in Pacific trade until 1946. Restored in the 1970s, and now an attraction (as the 'Polly Woodside'), in the Melbourne Maritime Museum. [Above photo 1904 or later]. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly_Woodside
