I'm taking a gamble here but I think that the trophy on the left as you face it is the Metropolitan Cup for coxed fours from the Dublin Metropolitan Regatta. This is one of the most prestigious trophies in Irish rowing and is also known as "The Blue Riband". It was also recognised as the unofficial fours championship of Ireland. I will send a link to someone in the rowing fraternity and see if they can identify it. If that is the cup, or 'pot' as they are known, the the names of the crew are likely to be inscribed on it. As far as I know Waterford Boat Club are still active and they had a great selection of old photos on display in their clubhouse so they may have the record also? Lets see how we get on?

Swordscookie Brilliant! We'll await developments. Have added pots as a tag...
Tammy said:
whoever they were, they needed some undergarments.... : 0
Swordscookie said:
Tammybeck, how could you;-) A bit like cycling, when sitting on the sliding seat in the boats, having seams across your backside could be very painful over time. When I was rowing there was a special seat in the shorts and today with spandex etc. there are no seams. I suspect that the absence of underwear was to minimise discomfort.

Tammy Now, hope you and swordscookie are not going to lower the tone of serious and earnest photographic research that goes on here... ;)
