Returning to matters maritime once more we have a very busy harbour scene with steam and sailing ships berthed beside quays somewhere. In the background can be seen many stacks denoting industry and in the foreground is a quay with imported timber. Wherever it was business appears to have been booming at that time but where was it?
With thanks to sharon.corbet it seems almost certain that this was taken in Drogheda, County Louth.....

Early today. Where's this - New Ross?

Or Drogheda?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/scorbet I think you have it Sharon! I was looking for a bridge but the nearest one to where the ships were moored is relatively new so I was looking in vain! This would have been taken from the heights near where the railway station is now!

The spire of St. Peter's R.C. seems to be missing, but it doesn't really help much with the date, as it is not completely clear when it was built (latest 1884.)

STP_2101 is the reverse view - at the same time? https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/7928270882/

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/scorbet] The DIA entry for the church says: First contract (for addition of tower, porch, baptistery & first two bays of nave) 13 Jun 1882. 2nd contract (for demolition of remaining body of existing church and building 3rd nave bay, crossing transepts and sanctuary, 29 Jul 1891. So the tower is no earlier than 1892, and no help.

Flickr is sometimes amazing! The Boyne Viaduct in 2018 via https://www.flickr.com/photos/mythicalireland/ I think the photographers and their cameras were two or three arches to the left ... on a train? https://www.flickr.com/photos/mythicalireland/40405433314/

I noted the chapel at the Sienna Convent, a
PuginAshlin job from 1876.oaktree_brian_1976
Paddle steamboats. Likely the earlier of the date range. 1860s 1870s

Nearby in catalogue and geographically, dominican church from 1878, noted in the distance:
