  The name on the stern looks as if it ends "... Ireland". Workman Clark built a "Star of England" so I guess this might possibly be a sister ship, built for J P Corry From www.red-duster.co.uk/wp/2016/02/11/james-p-corry-co/ (which shows that most if not all of their ships were Star of ..)

  STAR OF IRELAND was built in 1903 by Workman, Clark & Co. at Belfast with a tonnage of 4331grt, a length of 380ft, a beam of 48ft 8in and a service speed of 12 knots. She was built specifically for the South American meat trade and virtually an updated version of the Star of Victoria. Although she was refrigerated and as large as some of the other vessels in the fleet she was not transferred to the Commonwealth & Dominion Line and in 1915 was sold to Nelson Steam Navigation Co. of Belfast with H & W Nelson Ltd as managers for use on a similar trade. She was renamed Highland Star by the new company in 1916. In 1927 she was laid up at Dunston-on-Tyne and broken up in 1930 by Thos. W. Ward at Inverkeithing.

  Launched at high water on 29th June 1903 according to the report in the Northern Whig on Tuesday 30 June 1903 with an extensive description, but no mention of a new process or rivetting

• Foxglove said:

  as the image proceeds from stern to bow (I have googled me nautical terms me lads) the riveted plates become almost like cladding, this looks unusual to my totally untrained eye

• Foxglove said:

  oh oh ! there are no (sea) dogs visible

• O Mac said:

  It's possible that the catalogue person found the ship riveting.
