Hawthorn Leslie shipbuilders playing bowls

  So many memories.
  They remind me so much of the times when I was young. Their clothing, hair, shoes etc. Even the housing is the same.
  Behind green areas like this the heavy industry worked on.
  Social history is a wonderful thing to study.

  The man far left in the pale clothes is my grandfather Peter Ross Smith, he was manager of the shipyard when the Kelly was built and worked alongside Mountbatten. He received a signed letter of thanks and a signed photo from Mountbatten in 1939 (we still have them), and I have three of the flags that flew from the Kelly. He would have been approx 48 years old in that photo.

  I'll have a dry martini please ... or maybe it has not been invented yet? The sun is well over the yard-arm where I am.

  It's a long way from the ferry to Holyhead! :-)

• ccferrie said:

  Looks like it must be 1860-1865 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Eastern The Sept 1861 voyage looks like a contender - "On the second day out [from Liverpool] the wind increased to gale force, causing the ship to roll heavily"

• ccferrie said:

  Although, the captain of the ship from 1866-78, during its cable-laying years, was a Wicklow man en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Halpin It seems odd that the saloon and dining saloon would be so luxuriously appointed for that kind of work though.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  ccferrie The absolute earliest this could be is 1865, as Lawrence didn't set up in business until then. But logistically speaking, it was probably at least a few years after that. (Robert French, photographer on three-quarters of our Lawrence Collection didn't even start working for William Lawrence until 1880-ish....)
