Ships

Written on the back of the photo: Queenstown Harbour showing H.M.S. "Triumph" Haulbowline Hospital & dockyard & Spike Island (formerly convict prison)". Queenstown is now called Cobh, County Cork, Eire. Frederick Dibblee served on HMS Triumph in 1892.

Not identified, but it looks like the same ship.

Frederick Dibblee served on HMS Prince George, battleship, from June 1901 to June 1902, Channel squadron.

This was originally a single strip, as a postcard. It is Malta. Frederick Dibblee served in Malta from 1908 to 1911.

The postcard with the fishermen was addressed to Miss Margaret E. Dibblee, Trafalgar Lodge, Musselburgh. It has an Edward VII stamp, and the poststamp is 1903 (I think).

On Frederick Dibblee's service record, it says that he served on HMS Marlborough, battleship, from Feb 1914 to Feb 1917, and that he was at the Battle of Jutland 31 May 1916.
