Port Pirie about 1900
Shipping, Port Pirie about 1905. Information from a researcher: "I believe the ship next the wharf and bow on is the Glasgow four-masted barque 'Earl of Dunmore' built on the Clyde 1891. The reason I believe this may be the Earl of Dunmore is she had a scroll, or fiddle bow, at the fore-stem rather than the more usual figure-head, this scroll was painted dark colour probably brown, whereas the usual figure heads were usually white, her rig was of double topsails and single t'gallants as the ship in the photo, and had the same arrangement of painted ports, and single hawse-pipe hole each side, (some ships had two each side). Earl of Dunmore was in Port Pirie at least twice, in 1894 and 1897. Another characteristic the Earl of Dunmore had was, she had no chart house on the poop aft, that detail is not visible in this photo.
Illustrated slides including published images
Records of the Reverend Arthur M. Trengove comprising colour lantern slides of illustrated cartoons. Some were possibly hand painted and some were made from engraved designs. Most were likely used during church services or presentations and for teaching purposes. The slides have a circular frame imbeded in the illustration. Some slides have 'B&S patent' or 'Canadian lecture, Copyright' inscribed in the image, which would relate to the slide's production. There are four cartoon sequences including the following; 1. a five slide cartoon version of the Cinderella fairytale, 2. a six slide cartoon sequence with turkish or eastern interior and figures, 3. a seven slide cartoon sequence of a ship and crew during a shipwreck, 4. a 12 slide sub series relating to shipping (The Fram) and exploration (Jackson and Nansen). There are also five other miscellaneous illustrated cartoons. See CONTENTS for more information and details.
