    There's a mention in the catalogue notes that it could be the Palme, but I don't think that's right. The Palme was the focus of the 1895 Kingstown Lifeboat Disaster, and according to newspaper reports the masts were cut off when it went aground.

    Double view or stereograph?

    Woesinger Stereo, sorry! Was being lyrical rather than accurate...

    FYI: Probably down to the original meta data/labelling, but strictly speaking that's NOT the "Old Cork Customs House". That's the "Old Cork City Hall". To clarify:
    The Old Cork Customs House is an 18th century building on Emmet Place. (Built 1724 it later became premises of the Royal Cork Institution. The building is still there - now part of Crawford School of Art). The New Cork Customs House was built in 1818 by Abraham Hargrave on Albert Street. (In 1882 it became HQ of the Cork Harbour Commissioners. The building is still there - now home to Port of Cork Company) The Old Cork City Hall (pictured here) was built in the 19th Century on Albert Quay. (Originally a corn exchange it was extended and repurposed for municipal use after the Cork Exhibition. It was destroyed in the burning of Cork in 1920 - and is gone) The New Cork City Hall was built in the 1930s to replace the old structure on Albert Quay. (It was opened in 1936 - and is still there)
    The map coordinates are therefore not entirely accurate. Should actually be around here.

    guliolopez You are an absolute legend! Have changed description, tags, and hopefully the location is now more accurate - thank you so much for going to all this trouble...

    It's 1887 from the poster at left for Foley's Athletic Hall. A Trove search produced this - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239805306?searchTerm=f...

    Here's a delicious Red Herring - a 1899 newspaper article "Life on Board the S. S. Kent" by 'Banjo' Paterson, a troopship on the way to South Africa for the Boer War - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/14250664
