    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)

    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.

    Thank you for the high-resolution scans of all your pix; it makes viewing a real pleasure and education.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/66105333@N06] It's Custom House Quay - sorry, I should have been more specific. Meagher's Quay is different, isn't it? p.s. have you seen our photo of Walter Bishop's wife, Bridget?

    Great example of how vernacular photographs become art.
