    There's nobody still milling flour in Ireland. You might be able to date it from the fact that the Newtown Perry mill is still in business in this photo.

    The Flying Huntsman of Limerick is described in Freeman's in 1899 as a 'steam tug'. The earliest mention I can find of a steam tug of that name is in 1869 when it arrived in Belfast for the purpose of taking two tanks to Glasgow to lift a screw steamer which had sunk ten days previously in the Clyde.
