    I see the loopline bridge, they are on the quays at the Custom House in Dublin. Streetview of the steps. The date range is off - the Clarecastle was built in 1914 and bought by Gunness in 1915 : Clyde ships page. Date is before 1953 when the Clarecastle was sold again.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    All the boys are wearing shoes, which also suggests a later date range. I think some of them are fishing with bits of string. They have a big empty tin can to put their catch into.

    Flickr is sometimes amazing and the NLI is always amazing - we have visited those steps before -

    A wonderful looking image.

    It looks like the boys are Crabbing. A ball of string or a sock is the bait on a line.

    Wow!

    Butt Bridge was replaced only in 1932, whereas this version was built in 1879. So not too much help.

    There was a slave ship named Brothers, but it was burned by the French in 1794.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Wikipedia lists seven ships called Brothers, none look an exact match.

    William Dobbin was master of the Hawk until 1803, and John Downie was master of the Dispatch. Belfast News-Letter - Tuesday 20 September 1803:
    Belfast News-Letter - Tuesday 20 September 1803

    But by April the following year WIlliam Dobbin was master of the Dispatch. Belfast News-Letter - Friday 20 April 1804.:
    Belfast News-Letter - Friday 20 April 1804.

    Other notices show Downie as master of the Hawk in the following tears.

    Some time in January 1808 Dobbin went back to the Hawk, and someone called Rankin was in charge of the Dispatch. This arrangement seems to have continued until January July 1810, when McCormick took over on the Hawk.
