"Tulkar" in Dundee Harbour - Ref: WC0917
The original caption of this photograph by Alexander Wilson is incorrect. The vessel in question is, in fact, the "Tuskar", an iron screw steamer, built by Blackwood and Gordon, Port Glasgow, for W. Langlands and Son, Glasgow in 1863.
She had a gross tonnage of 465 and measured 181.5 feet in length. She is seen berthed at No. 3 Shed in Dundee Harbour's arl Grey Dock, with her stern to Dock Street.
The "Tuskar", captained by someone called MacPherson and under the agency of J. T. Inglis and Co., was a regular visitor to Dundee in 1889 with general goods from Liverpool. The Dundee Advertiser records monthly trips for July to September.
