  Hmmm. "The Danites" (on the poster extreme right, if I've read it correctly) was a popular theatrical production advertised in the theatrical newspaper The Era at many venues between 1880 and 1900 (mostly 1880s). So I suggest that the picture is near some popular resort with a theatre.

  Looks like Douglas Head Lighthouse, isle of Man. www.flickr.com/search/?q=douglas%20head%20lighthouse

• John Spooner said:

  The notices for The Danites in the Manx press were all in 1884. This is the first in The Isle of Man Times and General Advertiser (published in Douglas) on Saturday, July 05, 1884

  A French vessel designed for colonial service. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bougainville-class_aviso . It is interesting that she could embark a company of infantry (ca. 100 - 150 soldiers) in addition to her crew.
