A beautiful "Royal" plate today from the ubiquitous Lawrence Collection with lots of boats and water on view. The boat passing the ship moored to the quay caught my attention as it is moving past the ship under power yet there is no visible sign of propulsion. Did the yachts pre WW1 have auxiliary engines?

Photographer: Robert French

Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection

Date: Circa 1865 - 1914

NLI Ref: L_ROY_11557

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia Doesn't look much like Wexford, anyway. I think your streetview needs to be 50 yards further along the pier, though.

    Evinrude produced the first practical (it started) outboard engine around 1909.

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia] Yep - it seems to have been taken from the ramparts. It looks like you can get the height or the angle, but not both. I think it's from about the next cannon over, thus: goo.gl/maps/5uVmtTf999S2FpYV9. (only higher up, obvs)

    GREAT vintage pic!! A boat-load of interesting detail!! It would be really nice to step into that photo and have a chance to walk around... with a "today" camera. Regarding early marine engines: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inboard_motor
