It has been some time since we posted a photograph from the Clonbrock Collection and this one is that little bit different. A warship at anchor with the Royal Standard at the stern which would seem to indicate that the Queen was on board. The title comes from song, Monto,made famous by the Dubliners If you have a moment have a listen

Researchers Beware! There is a nearby photo with two very similar battleships - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523770 Also nearby Royal Yacht 'Victoria & Albert (II)', with a man and woman on the bridge - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523768 Wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMY_Victoria_and_Albert_(1855)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia The Krazy Kataloguers have led me astray once more. That is not the Royal STandard at the stern/stem as I thought. The Royal Standard denoting the presence of the monarch is rather more elaborate.

... which might make the photos before 1901, when V&A II was replaced by V&A III ?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland] Yes! It is the White Ensign - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Ensign The Krazy Kataloguers should have gone to spekksavers!

Most likely the visit of Queen Victoria to Dublin in April(?) 1900. Read All About It (via Trove) including - "... The arrival of the Channel Fleet in the bay on Sunday, and the booming of their guns increased the interest of the occasion. Trains, trams, and outside cars were called into requisition by those who went to Kingstown to see the magnificent battleships, which lay at anchor about a mile from the shore. ... See - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/166990559?searchTerm=q... The Channel Fleet at the time - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Fleet#1895 included several Royal Sovereign Class ships with the distinctve side-by-side funnels - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Sovereign-class_battleship

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland] Some of these Flickr posts are almost as old as the photos! Local newspaper reports might have details of which ships from the Channel Fleet were in Dublin Bay. It seems the Dillons were on a large steamer, chuffing around with other gawpers. See the wake here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523770 Aside - the NLI has digitized a couple of albums of the Queen's visit. The V&A II is recognisable - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000284184 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000534359

We had extensive discussions about the Channel Squadron / Fleet in October 1899, six months earlier, here - [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/51338295376/] See the 4+ big ships with side-by-side funnels in the background via megazoom - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320315

I'm not a boat expert, but I think it's one of these: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic-class_battleship
