  Beautiful banner! Wonder if it still survives...

  Not the steps of the Imperial hotel...
  
  It's the courthouse in Waterford:
  
  
  Streetview does not get very close.

  Sheerness was a cargo ship, and was wrecked at the Tuskar Rock in 1927.

  These men worked hard for their pay. I'd imagine more than a few of those pictured had an opinion (and probably input) into the general strike we spoke about late last week. Seemingly the NS&FU joined in the 1890s with other Waterford-based union branches to reduce the working-day to 10 hours, and gain an extra few shillings a week for the dock workers also. As with Carol Maddock, I'd love to think the banner survives. Might need the OFarl to contribute on that.... www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/31575454304/ EDIT: Connolly and Larkin and the ITGWU (representing the dock workers) seemingly did not always have a good relationship with Havelock Wilson and the NS&FU (representing the ship workers). Not helped I guess that Wilson's union was UK-based, and that an action by either group would (if not coordinated) affect the workers of the other union. It looks like members of the Dublin NS&FU branch joined the 1913 lockout however - even if the ITGWU seemingly covered their strike pay rather than the NS&FU itself....

Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade branch in Warwick, Queensland, ca. 1913

  "READY ALWAYS" — THE WARWICK AMBULANCE By "CORBIE DHU". IN the 34 years that have elapsed since the center was established, the staff has attended 36,041 calls and has traveled 312,305½ miles in the performance of its duty." Behind this brief extract from the last annual report of the Warwick Centre of the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade lies a story of men whose one aim has been, and is, to uphold to the letter their exacting motto, "Ready Always." Side by side with the story of the bearers is a tale of unremitting effort by the brigade's committee to maintain its station as one of the best equipped and most efficient in the State. In this ideal, it has been accorded the willing support of town and country residents, on whose generosity depends the financial soundness of the brigade.
