  It staggers me that they achieved the correct angles and shapes to create a balanced and equal shaped ship like this. They were designed using slide rules and paper yet made them to a very high standard - real skills.

  Somewhere near here? goo.gl/maps/SeLi1S5P3KZXMM35A It has hardly changed in 115 years. 7 May 1905 was a Sunday ... hence the Sunday best hats?

  A sidecar and a bicycle. Passage East, not the other one.

• Suck Diesel said:

  Strongbow landed here in 1170, on his second visit, with several hundred knights. A ferry operated at the time of photo, and still does, acrosss the Suir to Ballyhack in Co. Wexford, saving over 30-miles by road. The notorious Geneva barracks were just south of here.

• John Spooner said:

  Megazoom releals some men standing in the street (just outside what is now the post office ) with their hands in their pockets, as if waiting for a bar to open. Could this possibly be a clue as to the time of day the picture was taken? (just before 2 p.m. if my understanding of Irish licensing laws in the early 20th century is correct)

• Swordscookie said:

  John Spooner yes John, on a Sunday that would have been right for those outside of Dublin. Dublin enjoyed the "Holy Hour" until quite recently but that only applied Monday to Saturday.

  The bloke in the middle looks like the devil incarnate! What a creepy dude!

• Wayne Hill said:

  I was thinking of something "silly" to write. But instead could only see the niceties of the event. Great image, the boys could be holding a bag of sweets?

• P. Bell said:

  i fear for them if those men are their 'supervisers'. Shifty lot.
