The RMS Dunottar Castle was built in 1889. She was used by the Castle Line as a Royal Mail Ship carrying passengers and mail from Southampton to Cape Town calling at Gibraltar among other ports and also used as a troop ship during the Boer War. She was later chartered to Sir Henry Simpson Lunn Ltd and used as cruise ship. The following photos dated 1910 may have been taken during one of Lunn’s cruises.
