View over Old Portsmouth and the dockyard from the Solent 1930s

One of the old Southern Railway paddle steamers serving the Isle of Wight inbound to Portsmouth, possibly to the dock at Clarence Pier.

The church tower, behind the YMCA roof, is the location of Saint Thomas Portsea, what is now Portsmouth Cathedral, my paternal great grandparents were married there on 25th September 1867, as were my 2nd great grandparents on 23rd May 1842.

This vessel may be either PS Southsea or PS Whippingham - still searching for confirmatory images (2021 update)
