    beachcomber australia Thank you and the same to you. May you live to see Newgrange's miracle live some day!

    I rowed in a regatta there back in the late 1960's and the Barrow in New Ross is a formidable river. It's tidal and wide and if there's a wind blowing it could be very lively. We won, of course, but I remember that the club seemed to have more to do leisure than serious rowing.

    The other New Ross Boat Club group photos date from 1900 - 03, but look very formal as compared to our lads

    The crossed arms are the standard pose for athletic portraits of this time, along with the de rigeur moustache.

    I think Mr French was on the old bridge. Streetview from the new bridge shows the warehouse with the bite taken out of its roof is still there (see note) - goo.gl/maps/q2DjHZK5GBT2

    The New Ross Boat Club had their 21st annual regatta in July of 1898 according to the Freeman's Journal newspaper.

    Megazoom - the inscription on the jug on the bottom step says 'Challenge Cup' which is odd because it's the only trophy which isn't a cup. Below that there's a year. It's not clear but I'd hazard a guess at 1893 or 1895.

    There's a photo of what I assume is Waterford Boat Club (despite the title) given their jackets here with what looks like the same Challenge Cup at the bottom, though turned the other way.

    It was deciphered as the Harbour Commissioners Challenge Cup, when it appeared before:
