'Neptune'

from Powerhouse Museum

    Hmm, are you sure this was taken in 'some time in 2008'? :)

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Buoyant, and we'd love to have this added to the group! So great to see a Buoy pic in The Commons!

    A Naval gunboat. I don't know if it is more properly called HMS Neptune. There's a wonderful description in the SMH of 13/4/1887 of a day's exercise on the 'Neptune', including the firing of that bow cannon, a 64 pounder MLR [sic - RML = Rifled Muzzle Loading] slide-gun. Really brings this otherwise ho-hum picture to life. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13660801?searchTerm=hms%... Milsons Point in the background.

    "The weather was wet, and the air was raw and cold..." - a great enhancement of the photo beachcomberaustralia. I dare say you wouldn't be able to creep up on the enemy with that smokestack!

This is not Youghal, y'all!

    Is that man sitting on a suitcase, having missed the boat? If you view the largest size, there's some writing on the lifering (is that the proper term), that seems to end in "HAL". So, sould be Youghal. Maybe I'm imagining it.
  • Nick Stewart said:
    That is a fabulous image. Looks like grass growing up through the boards, which would suggest that its not used a lot? Wherever it is, I love it.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    That's a very distinctive church steeple, but I don't recognize it.
  • Woesinger said:
    Warren Fleury on Broadsheet.ie says it's "Looking across at Monkstown, Co. Cork from Verlome Dockyard, Carrigaloe." A quick look on Google Street View shows up the distinctive steeple, so I'd say Warren has the right of it.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Yes, here's a photo of the Sacred Heart church behind that row of seafront buildings in panoramio.

DAHLGREN (LOC)

    According to wikipedia: Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Dahlgren for John A. Dahlgren. * The USS Dahlgren (TB-9), was a torpedo boat, commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1919. * The USS Dahlgren (DD-187), was a Clemson-class destroyer commissioned in 1920, served in World War II and decommissioned in 1945. * The USS Dahlgren (DDG-43), was a Coontz-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1961 and decommissioned in 1992. I assume that the boat in the LOC photo is the first choice above -- a torpedo boat commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1910. That boat sure doesn't look very sturdy!

    Dahlgren appears in this list of ships from the 1912 review: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html The railings off the stern there look rather like some you see on some submarines.
