  The striped poles are beacons - navigation aids for boats. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,443338,565955,12,9

  As the setting is on the shoreline, I would guess they are a Nautical Marker, in lieu of a Light House. Could even be some form of Nautical signal station/beacon. As there are two, maybe align them, as the ship's/boat's pilot/Captain nears the shoreline guides the vessel safely in. Guessing only.

  I wouldn't mind that camera. Wonder where it is today.

• Owen J Fitzpatrick said:

  Wonderful Flickr post and photo. I'd also love to know the make of that camera on the tripod in the field. Who's the photographer and what's the photoshoot all about? Great Flickr work as always by National Library of Ireland on The Commons.

  A slender hull - unusual for a cargo ship. I wonder what the reason was for it?

  Looks more like a liner.
