Thanks for those fascinating photos, which I had not seen before. I don't think they appear in Slocum's book. May I know their source and whether there are any more to enjoy?

Unfortunately i cannot remember the website where i found them, have never seen them since, it was a long time ago.
There where two more (above) i had with them, not sure if they are from the same time.
