Title
The Harbour, Aberdeen
Description
An Adelphi Series postcard showing Aberdeen Harbour in the early 20th century. This photograph features in the book <i>Coastal Passenger Liners of the British Isles</i> (2011) by Nick Robins. It is captioned as follows: "<i>City of Aberdeen</i> (1873) leaving her home port behind the tug <i>John McConnachie</i> (1879). The North company's <i>St Sunniva</i> (1887) is alongside centre left." The Scottish Built Ships website indicates that the <i>City of Aberdeen</i> was an iron screw streamer built in 1873 by Cunliffe & Dunlop of Port Glasgow. The ship's first owner was the Aberdeen Steam Navigation Co. and it was used to transport passengers and cargo. The ship was sold to a Greek firm of shipowners and renamed the Salamis in 1906. Its sale and overhaul was reported in the <i>Aberdeen Daily Journal</i> of 15th October 1906, page 4.
