There's umpires on every court, so it's presumably a genuine competition of some sort. It looks like mixed doubles.

Glens in the news Vol 1 No 9 June 1932 Arrangements are already well in hand for the famous annual Tennis Tournaments at Ballycastle, to commence on Monday, July 11th. The beautiful grounds of the local tennis club will be the venue of the Irish Close Tennis Championships, which are being played for the first time in the North, and will be held during the same week. It is anticipated that all the Irish Davis Cup players will compete, including C.L. Rodgers, who recently gave F. J, Perry, the British Wimbledon hope, a gruelling match. The annual athletic and aquatic festival will also be up to the usual high standard. www.ballycastlehistory.com/glens-in-the-news-ballycastle-...

👍 Very nice picture my friend , well done ;)

I think the twin-funnel, tug-like vessel is pumping water out of the part-submerged vessel - the tug might be registered in Sunderland, but I can't make out the name

The cart on the jetty seems to be on a flat skid, which runs on rails along the jetty.

EDIT: The man behind the horse at the landward end of the jetty seems to be leaning on an empty skid - the cross-rail he's leaning on would support the shafts of the cart

The first edition Ordnance Survey 6" map shows lots of collieries along the coast between Fair Head and Ballycastle, so it seems likely that coal brought by cart to the jetty at Ballycastle, where the skids on the jetty allowed coal to be tipped directly into the ships.
The collieries seem to have worked the coastal cliffs and had great names:
Salt Pans Colliery
White Mine Colliery
Falbane Colliery
North Star Colliery
West Mine Colliery
Lagglass Colliery
Goldnamuck Colliery
Pollard Colliery
Griffin Colliery
Gobb Colliery
Portnagree Colliery

The wreck may well be that of the Grimsby steam trawler Starling which sank in the harbour in 1902.

Two railways ran side by side to Larne harbour. The Ballymena and Larne railway, a narrow gauge railway and the Belfast and Northern Counties railway, a standard gauge railway. 1950 saw wholesale closures of railways following the formation of the Ulster Transport Authority in 1948. The Ballymena and Larne railway was one of many that were closed than year. The road on the right of the railway lines is still known as the Narrow Gauge Road.

Passenger steamer is the Princess Margaret, older sister of the well known Princess Maud.
