Cunard's Umbria. Perhaps nearing her launch in 1884; I can't explain those heavy lines coming this way from her stern, what are they for now, with much scaffolding still in place? If they didn't build ships of wood in Glasgow any longer, they still used a lot of wood. Umbria was scrapped in 1910. W

Here is the Umbria, I presume that she is a Cunard/White Star ship. Looking at her foremast would she have carried sails? Any information is welcome. Cheers Frank
