dignitaries

The name of the director of the Metropolitan Opera ist Heinrich Conried, not "Conreid" as written in the title and the description of the foto. As Conried died on 27 Apr 1909, the foto can be dated correctly with 1909. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Conried

..and there's a 1909 date in the margin.

Fantastic!!

Great piece of history. The Prince seems like something of a secondary figure in this image.

See - tidesandtales.ie/hms-juno-and-stormcock-at-waterford-1902/ I expect that we will find out more ...

From above site - "... The occasion was a Vice regal tour of the coast by the then Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Dudley. Along with other dignitaries they had toured the south coast aboard HMS Juno (1895) examining coastal defences, sights of interest and visiting and/or attending social engagements at Glengarriff, Cork City and finally dropping anchor at Dunmore East on Wednesday 29th October 1902. The plan for the day was that what was described as a Royal Navy Tender Stormcock would convey the party up the harbour to the city. In the city they were to meet the town dignitaries. The report goes on to say that “…Alderman W G Goff, Jr, Glenville… will place his two motor cars at the disposal of their Excellencies. After lunch with Alderman Goff they will take a drive in the neighbourhood. They will then return the Juno and sleep on board, the Juno meanwhile proceeding Kingstown, which will be reached on Thursday morning. Their Excellencies will then return by special train from Kingstown to Dublin ..."
