General notes

One of the ships owned by Joseph Steel and Son, Liverpool.

This image is from the A.D. Edwardes Collection of about 8,000 photographs, mostly of sailing ships from around the world, taken between about 1865 and 1920. Mounted in 91 albums, the photographs are arranged by country of ownership, with some special volumes such as 'Shipping at Port Adelaide' and 'South Australian outports'. Additional information, giving the history of the ships where known, has been provided by maritime historian, Ron Parsons.

A researcher has provided the following information: Over its entire service period from 1877-1908, the 'Kirkdale' is listed as visiting Dunedin/Port Chalmers once, arriving on 12 February 1897, and departing on 1 April 1897. The barque also visited New Zealand ten years earlier, when it was in Auckland and Bluff.
