| Notes: | Original date range we had for this photograph was "Between circa 1865-1914". Research by our Flickr Commons users initially established a date of between February 1905-1914. However, subsequent information brought an exact date, and the following very detailed information of the vessels involved: "The picture was taken on or about 16 August 1906. The ship's boats visible are from a number of ships, not just HMS King Edward VII. The boat immediately astern of the one in the left foreground has the name "Arrogant" on the backboard in the sternsheets. Another alongside the pier has some letters of a similarly positioned name which can only be "Majestic". From this the event captured can only be the brief visit by RN ships made in August 1906 – no other similar visit had these three ships included".
