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.

For my money, it's not the same vessel.
