It was used as a cadet training ship in Belfast until fairly recently, then refurbished as a maritime museum. My daughter worked on it briefly when it was just opened as a museum. I haven't been on it yet, that will have to wait for a while now.
I guessed pre WW2 from the plumb bow, the riveted hull suggests pre 1945, it more or less died out after that. I thought it was a naval vessel because of the high superstructure above the bows and the narrowness of the hull. That was as far as I got.
I'd no idea it was such a large vessel or quite as early as 1914. A very historic vessel.
Thanks that's made my day.
