Could this group of well-dressed people be from the Congested Districts Board as Niall McAuley suggests? I was wondering that myself, but am unsure about the involvement of women... It would be a fantastic capture of CDB people in action. But they may just be tourists.
Niall McAuley said:
Interesting group watching the work, obviously visitors to the island. I took a look for photos of the actual CDB members, and there are a few in the nli archive, but they look maler and moustachier than this group:

What a superb image! Never seen so many wooden barrels in one place
(nearly said 'plaice'!)!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley Yes, and there's a distinct lack of moustachiness in this group. Just one fine example of beardiness...

Nice! Will you be pretending to be a pirate? :) Went there a few years ago on the recommendation by the Saw Docs... a line in the song mentions skinny dipping. Well I dipped my big toe into that water and it dropped off through cold and sheer fright. No skinny dipping for me! Apart from the barrels and the clothes, it looks the same!

Didn't we have a companion piece to this a few months back? Lovely photo. That scene in the background between the harbour walls is like something out of a Constable painting.

Sue Parry Always pretend to be a pirate would be my Modus Operandi! Will have to try to get a shot from the same angle... :)

I'm getting an attack of deja vu, but I can't remember where - I think a warrior queen is involved ...

beachcomber australia Good catch! According to this those "balconies" are actually garderobes.

beachcomber australia You only recognised it because you pass it each day going to and from the pub:-) I must say I thought this would take a while but you nailed it in one!

There is a sequence of Cork IMPs. L_IMP_2118 shows Baltimore harbour and pier looking newish, of which the DAI says: Completed by R O'C's contracting company (martin & co.) between 1903 and 1909.
