This is not the Pelican built in 1900 by Fleming and Ferguson. It is the Pelican built 1880 by Johnson's Tyne Foundry at Melbourne. See https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/108502193 Note the mention of two boilers which corresponds to the two funnels. Is it possible to download a better quality copy of this photo for my records please? See www.boatregister.net for more info on my project.
