The 'Jupiter' docked in an unidentified port.
The iron barque 'Jupiter', 744 tons, docked in an unidentified port. A researcher believes that this image of the 'Jupiter' was taken at Salamanca Place in Hobart. A vessel of that name evidently docked in Tasmania (at least once) in early 1903 based on reports in newspapers: "The Morning Bulletin" (Rockhampton Qld.) 31 January 1903 and "The Norfolk News" (England) 27 February 1904. The reports give an account of the ship's voyage and deaths of the ship's Captain John Howes and his wife (believed to be Mary Ann Howes) from which it appears the 'Jupiter' was in Tasmania in January of 1903.
