  It is Waterford, looking across at Ferrybank, let's see if I can get a photosphere from Google to link correctly.

  Google gets a hit on Facebook (my efforts to link there unsuccessful) to a 2015 talk by Sonny Condon to the Waterford Archaeological & Historical Society: This lecture will be on the famous SS portlairge, a steam Dredger built in 1907 in Dublin. The Portlairge Dredged the port of Waterford nearly 70 years There is a photo of the boat alongside the quay in 1980! Perhaps Flickroonies with local knowledge will remember her.
