DescriptionA sharp bowed paddle steamer with raked masts and smoke stack! (25654002240).jpg
This Great Western paddle steamer moored close to Waterford makes a fine Poole image to begin the week.
With thanks today to [/photos/angeljim46/ AndyBrii], [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet], [/photos/91549360@N03/ O Mac], [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia] and especially [/photos/33577523@N08/ ofarrl], we have confirmation of subject, date, and a concrete location for this image. Specifically, it is understood that this is the paddle steamer PS Milford, which operated on the GWR's Milford Haven to Waterford route from 1874. It is pictured on the North Wharf of Waterford, close to Ferrybank - likely later in its career, prior to the ship being broken-up in 1901.
