    There was a regularish boat service around Cork Harbour broadly speaking around and before the start of the 20th century which supplemented and competed with the railways. One steamer terminus was at Crosshaven from where this photo was taken (Crosshaven was also the terminus of the Cork Passage and Blackrock Railway) and after the Curraghbinny pier in the picture the boat would go to (or from) Ring, Spike Island, Queenstown (Cobh) or Aghada according to the back cover of (Jenkins/Newham, 1993, 0-85361-4059) DB McNeill also covers the history of the steamers; which from memory has a little complexity. I'm sure I've also come across the steamer timetables somewhere. In the end the (road) buses took over.

    ... Towards the west end of the peninsula is a terrace of houses built in 1907 as a coastguard station, now converted to private holiday accommodation; this replaced an earlier range of buildings erected in the early 19th century, when Crookhaven was a centre both for legitimate coastal shipping and for smuggling activity. ...

    I think it is Mary Poppins on the rocks; she breezed in with a change of the wind.

    ... Every year keepers had to paint the lantern inside and out, the gallery, gates, iron fences, gutters and downpipes, oil tanks and flagstaffs. The annual whitewashing, cleaning out of “ashpits, cesspools, etc” was to be carried out as soon as possible after the 1st of April. The cottage also had to be maintained in ship-shape condition as unannounced inspections were regular as well as the annual Commissioners’ inspection. The keepers were provided with an allowance of eight tons of Scotch coal or seven tons of English coal every year. The keeper here could have expected to earn 3 shillings per day in 1905. ...

    I'd be thinking the the lady should be destined for the Royal College of Surgeons, either to repair her bones or to put her under Bergin's microscope to see if she's been photoshopped! Although not clear to us there may be path which runs down the left of picture and even to the rocks below. In all events any woman living here would surely be confident of her way around.
