The paddle steamer in the picture is COMETE which was out of service between January 1 and May 14 1865 undergoing an extensive overhaul, and the vessel is identified by the star emblem on the paddle box, and the topmasts. Helping to date the pictures is another of the vessel (not here) with the new Harbour Office built 1863 in the background.

The three pictures below are of interest, as they were all taken on the same day, and due to the vessels in harbour an exact date of Monday June 26 1933 can be given. The two large ships in the Old Harbour are the key to this, on South Pier is JOHANN AHRENS which had arrived on Thursday 22 June with her cargo of timber. On the North Pier is STEPHANIE which arrived on Friday 23 June from Finland, again with timber, while at No.1 Berth Albert Pier is the week old BRITTANY which was about to leave on an excursion to Sark.. At No. 3 Berth is ISLE OF SARK which is about to depart, while at No. 4 is ISLE OF JERSEY which had arrived on the Sunday, and would depart on Tuesday. In the No. 6 berth on the North Quay is ST. JULIEN.

Fifteen minutes later, the ISLE OF SARK can just be discerned crossing St. Aubin’s Bay, while ST. JULIEN and BRITTANY wait to depart. In the English Harbour is the tug DUKE OF NORMANDY.
This picture whilst a published postcard must surely be an Albert Smith work.
