Shamrock

from The National Archives UK

  • Picture Esk said:
    This was the yacht that Thomas Lipton commissioned to challenge for the America Cup off New York in 1899. She was beaten by the US defender "Columbia". Lipton commisioned "Shamrock II" for his next challenge for the cup, and "Shamrock I" raced against her sister ship in the pre-race trials.
  • The National Archives UK said:
    Tea magnate Sir Thomas Lipton competed for the America's Cup five times. His crews never won but the races made him a well known sporting figure in America and served as excellent publicity for his tea brand.

    I checked our trusty Irish Motor Directory and Motorists' Annual, and who appears in the 1912-1913 edition but the registered owner of IY 136 - one Major A. Owen Lewis, H.M. Prison, Mountjoy, Dublin...

    Streetview, GeoHive OS 25" link.

    The corner shop at left was said to be "nearing completion" in 1909 in the Westmeath Independent, according to the NIAH
  • Niall McAuley said:
    As can be seen at the OS map link, this is Church Street further along, but the near end is Custume Place, formerly Victoria Place. Several of the shop owners can be found in the 1911 census: e.g Campbell, Farrelly, Fleming's Medical Hall is on Church St. proper.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Charles Fair, Solicitor, has a first floor office at left.

    A wonderful capture of times past. And look - more horses (and a donkey, bottom left) than motor vehicles!
  • Swordscookie said:
    What's interesting in this excellent shot is the police or security presence? There are four outriders around that carriage, two more are going out of focus at the bottom and there are two an RIC?Policemen standing and walking between the tramrails. Some dignitary on his way someplace?
