    A fine picture, they were so well dressed and turned out! The Chef's uniform is the only one that hasn't really changed!

    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.

    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....
