www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=12772 Post-1914, looks like.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
derangedlemur 1914 is the very latest date for all of our Lawrence photos.
derangedlemur said:
It seems to be the same ship, so if Clydesite is correct, and they're claiming to have got hold of the original records, then this must be 1914 sometime.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
derangedlemur Would the mast on our Rothesay Bay support 5 sails (sheets?) as in the Clydesite image?
derangedlemur said:
There's four spars on each mast. Close enough, I reckon - the top one's probably some wee yoke that folds up or something, or they cut it down to four because of the cloth rationing. We've got an antipodean flag on it and everything else identifiable is the same. Edit: In fact, there's five spars on the forward mast.

This picture ran in the January, 1918 number of The Water Tower, with the description: "THE LAYING OF THE FIRST KEEL On Thursday December 20th [1917] at the Newark Bay Shipyard the first rivet was driven in the first standardized structural steel ship ever built. [...] The picture shows Mr John Hunter, representative of the United States Shipping Board, driving the first rivet after the center vertical keelson had been put in place. The gentleman standing immediately behind Mr Hunter in this picture is Mr Henry R Sutphen, vice president of the Submarine Boat Corporation and the man to whom credit for the production of the standardized structural steel ship is due." books.google.com/books?id=FAY0AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA48&lp...

"During World War I the Submarine Boat Corporation's yard was the second largest shipyard in the United States. There were as many as twenty-five thousand men working there." More on the company and its Newark Bay Shipyard here: www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/newark-bay.htm

Art Siegel: thanks for finding the matching published image and for identifying Mr John Hunter and Henry R Sutphen at the Newark Bay Shipyard ceremony. We will add more information to both these images when we update.
