| The rear pair of steamers are probably PS "Kenilworth" and her half-sister "Talisman". The red funnel with white band at top indicates they are LNER (ex-North British) ships and these were the only two ships in the fleet that were close to being sisters. |

I'm certain the boat named as 'Columbia' in the photo should actually be 'Columba'. |
