    As a Glaswegian living in Ireland I'd love to know why there was a need for a passenger service from Waterford to Glasgow. Was it trade or emigration (quite a circuitous way to get to the UK though)
  • derangedlemur said:
    Before the railways were built that would have been the fastest way to get from the south coast to Scotland. I wouldn't have thought they'd have got much custom in 1910 though.

    One thing Glassgow would have had in 1910 that perhaps Waterford and the surrounding areas wouldn't have had was jobs !! And as derangedlemur said the sea route would have been the fastest way for the men to get there and back to their families.

    Cuddly Nutter Mind you, this bunch are all kitted out in tweeds as if they're going shooting or golfing (or both). It doesn't look like either working in the mill clothes or sunday best.

    A fine picture, they were so well dressed and turned out! The Chef's uniform is the only one that hasn't really changed!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    And was wondering if he would have been called a chef or a cook, as in ship's cook? Have added cook to tags also...

    No doubt the lady would have had at least some nursing training and be an important part of the Pursers Department. The New Zealand Inter Island Ferries used to carry ladies in this position but got rid of them I believe.

    The gentleman on the right of the woman is my great grandfather John Davies, I have several photos of the SS Copeland. He came to Australia in 1912. Christine

    Quite a collection of hats. Quite a future in store for the doomed ship. History lives in such glimpses of times past.
  • Stuart said:
    The insignia on their sleeves suggests the man holding the ship's lifebouy is a Commander (a rank below the level of Captain) and the man to his left could be his second in command, the ship's Lieutenant. Perhaps it's the Lieutenant that's depicted in Ernest Binstead's drawing? Stuart.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Thanks, Stu, excellent information!

    So interesting - we used to look out to Tuskar Rock from Rosslare as kids on hoiliday when I was about 9 years old - that would be about 1956. Does anyone remember the St. David, St, Andrew and St. patrick mail boats that sailed from Fishguard to Rosslare?

    Real classical ladies and gentlemen on a cruise - reminds me of the Agatha Christie story "Death on the Nile" - i am somehow looking for Hercule Poirot here... ;-)
