There is a mention here of the following for May 3rd 1921: HMS Eglantine (Sloop) HMS Convulvulus (sloop) HMS Silene (Sloop) HMS Cicero (Sloop) HMT Ard Patrick ( Mersey Class, Naval Trawler) There was a glut of surplus warships, post-WW1. These four sloops , were among sixty of that type, being sold off from the Royal Navy. The Ard Patrick was an Admiralty trawler, also for sale. Some ships had actually been sold, when Republican forces decided to attack them at Caririgaloe, near Cobh. Armed men overpowered the civilian caretakers, and opened the seacocks on the vessels. The results were reported as ‘one vessel leaned heavily to port while another settled on the riverbed’ All vessels were sold by the end of the year.

The BMH has a an account of the incident from Michael Burke who was involved.

While the ships bell says "Cambria" this ship had been renamed "Arvonia" by 1921 flic.kr/p/eUQqr9

There is a second photo Hailing a passing vessel going up the river Lee to warn them of the danger of two sunken vessels which the notes claim is a "Photographic print (embossed with "W.D. Hogan, / 56 Henry St., / Dublin." lower left) of Free State soldiers (with their backs to the camera) on board the S.S. Lady Wicklow." This would seem to indicate that it was during the Civil War, and maybe a different incident to the one I mentioned above in 1921.

(I'm assuming that the S.S. Lady Wicklow reference is another misidentification, and that it is actually the Arvonia like in most of the other Hogan shots - as previously argued by O Mac .)

Here he is again in the same spot with two "mass servers", "killing time at the prison" [??!!] - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000535065

yes, and i think he must be hiding the cigarette behind him on this one :-)

Could this mean Collins Barracks, as in Michael Collins? It was Victoria Barracks until handed over in 1922, later renamed Collins Barracks.

According to the description on an exhibition of the Hogan-Wilson collection, he was responsible for compiling the collection, so is the Wilson of Hogan-Wilson. (The photographer was WD Hogan).

If it is Collins barracks, and he is at the prison, the District Military Prison was at the north end of the Barracks 25" Map Link

Model T Ford ?

Looks like a 1914 Model T. Later years seem to have had rounded rear mudguards, 'tho I am not an expert. Via DJC013
