    Curiously the Cork Examiner retrospective "Picture That" makes no mention of the 1902 exhibition but does mention the huge popularity of the 1889 exhibition

    The Signal Cabin is not itself on Albert Quay, it can be seen here on the 25" OSI map. The South City Link Road was built on this old railway. I can tell this is the Signal Cabin in question from this paired photo in the archive: Station from Signal Cabin, Albert Quay, Cork City, Co. Cork As we often find with O'Dea's pictures, this was taken on 19 March 1961, and per wikipedia, Regular passenger services were withdrawn on 1 April 1961

    Thanks Niall McAuley - You are of course correct! I have updated the map location accordingly. And also added a short note to the description. Much appreciated!

    The caption should read Bill Canty taking a breather.

    Now I'm no Gun expert but the handgun and holster has caught my eye. Firstly unusual length for holster to hang from belt what was the reason for this? Secondly the pistol handgrip has the shape of the Mauser C-96 and if so I this indicates German purchase?

    Nice capture.

    sure looks like a broomhandle Mauser. There was one on here a while ago, long time ago, we also found it based on the handle. They made millions of these, pretty common during WW1. Could go full auto, a bad boy. I imagine there were a few floating around post-war. www.spike.com/video-clips/n2wj7z/deadliest_warrior-weapon... Thompson has the circular magazine, 50 rounds I think. Chicago Piano we called them over here.

    Not the SS Lady Wicklow and not taken at Passage West. This is the London & North Western Railway Company's Dublin/Holyhead ferry S.S. Arvonia at Albert Quay, Cork. She was requisitioned as a troopship in Aug 1922 by the irish Free State and later used as an internment ship..... taken sometime after General Dalton landed 456 men at Passage West on August 8th. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000280472
