General notes

One of the ships owned by Devitt and Moore, London.

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'. According to a researcher, it is possible the photograph was taken outside the Aberdeen Harbour when the ship was departing on her maiden voyage. It is possible Lady Duthie named this vessel. James Saunders Stopani was the ship's carpenter. Additional information, giving the history of the ships where known, has been provided by Paul Royston Stopani and by maritime historian, Ron Parsons.
