    One country over from Austria? Maybe from the Dillon family trip to Switzerland in 1901?

    "The hourglass, sometimes with the addition of metaphorical wings, is often depicted as a symbol that human existence is fleeting, and that the "sands of time" will run out for every human life.[18] It was used thus on pirate flags, to strike fear into the hearts of the pirates' victims. In England, hourglasses were sometimes placed in coffins,[19] and they have graced gravestones for centuries." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hourglass#Symbolic_uses

    I think she is a barquentine, which should narrow it a little - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barquentine

    Looks like Waterwitch/Lancashire Witch but funnel appears to be missing - should be behind centre mast.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Ted There is a short funnel there - see large size. Another photo of the WATERWITCH for comparison - www.awm.gov.au/collection/302285/ I think this photo may be in April 1895 when the WATERWITCH first arrived in Sydney, and "attracted much attention" in Farm Cove - " ... by far the prettiest vessel on the Australian station. ...
