That's definitely a British protected or second-class cruiser in classic Victorian colors (black, white and buff) in the harbor. Can't figure out which class, though.

Queenstown properly known as Cobh (pronounced "cove") nowadays.

A view from Queenstown to Her Majesty's shipyard at Haulbowline. Founded by Oliver Cromwell as a victualling base for the English Navy. Most of the buildings are built from Limestone quarried from the Island. This view is taken from North to South and also overlooks Roches point Lighthouse, Fort Davis, Fort Camden and the spike Island Star Fort & Prison. The Island has held the Royal Navy, Irish Coastal Marine Service and to date the Irish Naval Service.

"Die Börse" translates as the "Stock Exchange" or "Børsen". Børsen (The Stock Exchange) is a building on the island Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen built by Christian IV in 1619-1640. The building was designed by Hans van Steenwinckel in the style of the Dutch renaissance architecture and is famous among tourists for its "dragonspire". The spire from 1625 is shaped as the tails of four dragons twined together. The tower measures 56 meters. The building was restored by Nicolai Eigtved in 1745 and internally renovated in 1855. It housed the Danish stock-market until 1974. In 1918, unemployed anarchists attacked Børsen, an attack that went to the Danish history books as "stormen på Børsen" (the storm at the stock exchange).
