A view of the quay at Queenstown, County Cork, in about 1900. The image shows the ‘Flying Fox’, a small paddle steamer and tug, used to ferry passengers and luggage to transatlantic liners before their passage to North America. The ‘Flying Fox’ was later involved in the rescue of survivors from the ‘Lusitania’ following an attack by a German submarine on 7 May 1915. The ‘Flying Fox’ was owned by the Clyde Shipping Company. She was built in 1885 and seems to have spent most of her life in Cork. During the First World War it was requisitioned by the British Admiralty as ‘Flying Fox II’. In 1919, she was sold to the Moville Steamship Company and worked in Lough Foyle until 1927, as the ‘Cragbue’.

A view of Frederiksholms Kanal, a canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark, in about 1910. The prominent domed building in the centre of the image is the Christiansborg Palace which is the seat of the Danish Parliament. The large steeple is the 300 ft spire of St. Nicholas (Lutheran) Church which opened in 1912. The image appears to show scaffolding around the spire which suggests that the photograph was taken during its reconstruction in the years from 1909 to 1912. The church now houses the Nikolaj Contemporary Art Center.
