John Watts wrote: If she is the ship that I think, she was built at Barrow-in-Furness by the Barrow Shipbuilding Company. Launched: 15 January 1884, Owner: Stewart & Co. Length overall 240 Feet, Beam: 34 Feet, Depth: 14 Feet, Engines: Steam.
John later wrote: I now believe that the ship Bedlington in the photograph is the one built in 1872 by Coulson Cooke, Wallsend (a forerunner of Swan Hunter). Barrow Shipbuiilding's Bedlington was scrapped in 1894. If you know any additional information about this photo, please use the 'Contact Editor' link below to inform me.
