I've got an old and a new photo of the vessel.

We've found some records on it from 1898-1907, indicating a Nellie
which has an elliptical stern and a raking bow. I don't know a lot
about boats, and I'm wondering whether anyone could confirm or deny
that the described vessel and the photographed vessel could be one
and the same.

Thankyou.
