ROYAL MARRIAGE - ARDROSSAN - 21 GUN SALUTE
The 4th Ayrshire Artillery Volunteers assembled at six o'clock p.m. at the battery, and fired a salute of 21 guns.
The operations were conducted by light from a number of lamps, and had rather a peculiar effect.
Captain Emslie commanded, and there was a good turn-out of the corps.
At the conclusion of the firing, Captain Emslie called for three cheers for the Queen and three for the newly wedded pair, which were heartily accorded.
Several houses in the town were illuminated in the evening.
[The marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of Edinburgh, and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, took place on 23 January 1874.]

Re: Ardrossan - On This Day In History
John Harvey was a former Provost of Ardrossan, and served on the council for over 20 years, so the possibility is high, particulary with Vineburgh's close proximity to the park.

LAUNCH AT ARDROSSAN
Tuesday, 21st current, will be long remembered in the busy and pleasant little burgh of Ardrossan, as the day which witnessed the launch of the largest sailing vessel hitherto constructed in Scotland – a proud memorial of the industrial skill, energy, and enterprise of the builder’s, Messrs Barr & Shearer.
The new ship is one of the finest, as well as the largest specimens of naval architecture produced by the above firm; and is 850 tons register.
It may be recollected that the tonnage of the ASIS, launched upwards of a year ago from Messrs Barr and Shearer’s yard, amounted to 720, N.M.
The launch of the new vessel took place at 2 o’clock.
A commodious gallery was erected in the building-yard for the accommodation of visitors; and here we noticed, among a large and fashionable company, the Right Hon. Earl of Eglinton and Winton; Sir William Miller of Glenlee, Bart; Major Martin, Ardrossan; Mr Gairdner, Auchans House, Commissioner for Lord Eglinton; and also Misses Cockerell, Mrs Major Martin, Mrs William Graham of Lancefield; and Miss Miller of Shields.
The preliminary preparations having been made by the large and well-regulated body of workmen, under the personal superintendence of Mr Shearer, the noble ship was freed from her fastenings.
As she glided into her future element, a salute was fired from several of the vessels in the harbour, and the crowd hailed the new ship’s union with Old Father Neptune, by raising a hearty and prolonged cheer.
The name of the ANNA DOROTHEA, in honour of one of the owner’s daughters, was bestowed upon the vessel by Miss Cockerell, who performed her pleasant task in a truly graceful manner.
The ANNA DOROTHEA is the property of Mr Barbour and Mr Rotheron, of Liverpool. She is designed for the Charleston and New Orleans trade, and will be commanded by Captain McKenzie.
We are happy to learn that the greater part of the timber has been laid down by Messrs Barr & Shearer, to be used in the construction of another ship, still larger than the ANNA DOROTHEA.
A large gathering of gentlemen, by invitation, dined with the owners and builders, in the Eglinton Arms Hotel (Mr McLerie’s), at three o’clock.
The chair was occupied by Provost Barr, supported by the Right Hon. Earl of Eglinton; Sir William Miller of Glenlee, Bart; Mr Gairdner, Auchans House.
The croupiers were – Mr Shearer, Provost Campbell of Irvine; and Captain Wilson of the Kerelaw.
