If you have a look at the wiki page about the topic (search google for wiki/History of photography), you'd find that the "process" of taking photos was in train earlier than 1839. It is possible that '37 is the correct year for that picture of whaling ships. My guess is that Tony Hopes would have good reason for saying it dates from "c.1837", and details about it may be in his book?

The video is great! Love to see the buildings of today in old photos. However, the photo of the "Whaling Ships docked at Salamanca - c 1837" just has to be much more recent. Photography was only invented in Europe in 1839-ish. Would be good to be really accurate with this.

Or, alternatively, there was already a settlement before hand and it was taken over by the British. There, that's better, now we accommodate the constuction time, You can't whip a horse and make it tapdance
