Lantern slide of a regatta boat in an unidentified harbour (possibly Dun Laoghaire, or Kingstown as it was formerly known), Co. Dublin. Originally catalogued with no labels. Depicts a large regatta boat with flags and bunting decorating its masts (possibly part of a regatta held in Kingstown). The three largest flags on top of the masts are called White Ensign flags (also historically known as St. George's Ensign). These flags consist of a red St. George's cross on a white background, with a Union flag in the upper left quarter. The White Ensign is flown on British Royal Navy ships.
