    Looking at the warehouses on the quay, I think this is the Grand Canal Basin. The Lock gates are just in front of her.

    A little more info on another photo of the model - www.flickr.com/photos/scottishmaritimemuseum/4878427013/ - "... "Scawfell" returned safely to the Clyde after the War, and after reconditioning her original name was restored. "Jupiter" resumed normal sailings on the Firth in 1946, and after being converted to oil burning in 1956-57, continued to sail on the Clyde until she was sold to a Belfast buyer in1960. ..."

    There was a regularish boat service around Cork Harbour broadly speaking around and before the start of the 20th century which supplemented and competed with the railways. One steamer terminus was at Crosshaven from where this photo was taken (Crosshaven was also the terminus of the Cork Passage and Blackrock Railway) and after the Curraghbinny pier in the picture the boat would go to (or from) Ring, Spike Island, Queenstown (Cobh) or Aghada according to the back cover of (Jenkins/Newham, 1993, 0-85361-4059) DB McNeill also covers the history of the steamers; which from memory has a little complexity. I'm sure I've also come across the steamer timetables somewhere. In the end the (road) buses took over.
