    There's a mention in the catalogue notes that it could be the Palme, but I don't think that's right. The Palme was the focus of the 1895 Kingstown Lifeboat Disaster, and according to newspaper reports the masts were cut off when it went aground.

    A very nice Dog, a Labrador? I am not sure, then many breeds looked a lot different over 100 years ago. One thing for sure it does look a menace!

    Google Lens found Helena Molony ...
    "Helena Molony walking her dog in the 1950s. In her later years she lived in relative poverty, relying on friends for support and accommodation. (M.J. Neary)"

    " ... From the 1930s, Molony was in a relationship with doctor Eveleen O'Brien, with whom she lived until her 1967 death.[21][22]
    She retired from public life in 1946, but continued to work for women's labour rights; she died in Dublin on 29 January 1967 following a stroke.[23] Molony is buried in the republican plot at Glasnevin Cemetery."

    beachcomber australia Far be it from me to contradict History Ireland, but I think material in our Sheehy Skeffington collections all end around 1940. So not sure about 1950s. Always happy however to sit corrected if any evidence emerges...

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, I also think she looks younger is today's photo than the Wikipedia one, which says "circa 1940s". And the hat and coat look circa 1920s -ish, maybe, possibly.

    What is written on the reverse, "Ewes" ? It could be the name of the dog.

    "The Channel Squadron at Anchor in Killary Harbour, County Mayo, Ireland on Sunday, October 8th, 1899. “Pelorus” is in the foreground and “Mars” is amongst the battleships anchored to seaward ... ... " From - www.viewing.com/Pelorus/Pelorus.htm

    Madam, - In the Lawrence Collection there is a photograph of the Channel Squadron of the Royal Navy at anchor in Killary Harbour in the West of Ireland. I have researched this considerably and have concluded that it was on the morning of Sunday, October 8th 1899. I have examined the logs of some of the ships present and would like to explore the position a little more. If any of your readers have any information which could assist me I would be grateful if they would contact me at the address below, fax 01-6671080 - Yours, etc., BRENDAN WALSH, 34 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin 4. 21/06/2003 See - www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/royal-navy-ships-at-ki... Now, what extra information can we find? ... ...
