Another vague possibility: In 1899 and 1900 (and probably after that), the Bristol Mercury regularly carried advertisements for the Waterford Steamship Company. They provided a passenger service between Waterford and Bristol (nine sailings a month in each direction - fares: cabin 15s,return 25s, children and servants travelling with families 10s, deck 7s 6d, children 4s). Their four ships were the Dunbrody, Reginald, Comeragh and Lara. Could Mr Goff be something to do with the steamer? On reflection, probably not, as he would be more likely to be photographed in uniform if he were captain or an officer, and apart from the rather fine beard, he doesn't strike me as the hearty matelot type..

This is Sir William DG Goff, Waterford businessman and cycle and motoring pioneer. He was probably Waterford's first motorist and built the cycle race track in Goff Park, now The People's Park. He lived at Glenville, Waterford, which I understand is still in existence. He was a partner with EF 'Bill' Peare in founding Ireland's first purpose-built garage at Catherine Street, Waterford, still in use as a garage today - surely one of, if not the oldest garage in continuous use anywhere in the world. He was the founding Chairman of the Irish Automobile Club (today the Royal Irish Automomobile Club in 1901 and also of the Irish Aero Club in November 1909. He died in 1917. - Bob Montgomery, Curator, RIAC Archive.
