    There's a mention of a possible Punctilio at the 1942 Howth Yacht Club regatta. It can be seen at the time in the video in this blog entry.

    07.43–07:52

    Believed to be Punctilio, Dublin Bay 25-Footer (waterline), designed by William Fife Jr., built by Charles Sibbick, Cowes, 1898. Owner in 1942, J.B. Stephens.

    So the newspaper clip is Summer 1942.

    And here's The Royal Alfred Yacht Club.

    A bit more about Punctilio which hit rocks in West Cork in 1970 bringing about her demise.

    Perhaps the top right and bottom left are of Punctilio. The coach roof in both look similar, and the position of the mast between coach roof and hatch looks good to me. So, what's the French connection? J.B. Stephens and George Arthur Newsom bought the boat in 1899/1900. Perhaps they got Mr. French to take a few photos after they bought it or during a refit? Could the man with the pipe in both right hand photos be J.B. Stephens?

    AI Overview

    The image is a caricature of Richard Pigott, an Irish journalist and forger, published in Vanity Fair on March 9, 1889. The caricature was drawn by Leslie Ward, known by his pseudonym "Spy".
    Richard Pigott (1828–1889) was a prominent figure in the Irish press and politics of his time, known for his involvement in the Pigott Forgeries.
    The Pigott Forgeries were a series of forged letters published in The Times newspaper in 1887, falsely implicating Charles Stewart Parnell, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, in the Phoenix Park Murders.
    Exposure: Pigott was exposed as the forger during a special commission established to investigate the letters, admitting his role under cross-examination.
    Aftermath: The exposure led to a libel settlement against The Times and significantly impacted Pigott's reputation and life.

    Suck Diesel Very interesting. I suppose we would say fake news today!

    Sir Leslie Matthew Ward (21 November 1851 – 15 May 1922), was himself caricatured. Artistic justice!

    Wiki is interesting - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Ward

    Sadly Mr Pigott committed suicide in Madrid in 1889. (I had a fleeting thought he might be the 'Fat Controller' in yesterday's photo!)
