    Merry Christmas! Streetview / photosphere - goo.gl/maps/AzmgN2A2PEC2 The harbour seems to have changed shape since Mr Eblana's day. Flickr is sometimes amazing! In 2009 via Wayne Brown [https://www.flickr.com/photos/waynetbrown/3780971690/]

    Yes, at some point the 'harbour' turned into a 'pier' - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000330871 (Lawrence) SAME AS ABOVE catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000326723 (Lawrence) catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000590478 (Poole)

    Is it my imagination or are the near harbour wall and the sail boats painted into the picture?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    UNLESS ... the entire near wall of the harbour (and the sailing boats) seem to have been drawn in or faked on the original Lawrence and reproduced here. What is going on? [Ed. snap @ aidanhodson ]
  • beachcomber australia said:
    In 1877 this happened - "A LATE high tide has done considerable damage at Tramore, Ireland. Part of the new pier at Lady's Cove has been swept away, and the new promenade road has been torn up. The sea has swept in over the land and covered large districts." From - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/170435205?searchTerm=t... Does this mean that the photo is after 1877, and Mr French / Lawrence / Eblana was imagining what the rebuilt pier would look like?

High and dry on a rocky shore.

    Port Erin?

    Port Erin - just before the weather bomb

    Niall McAuley Well done. The first ever choir trip away (the underpinning for much of the Lemur Instant Location Service) was to Port Erin for the Isle of Man Music Festival.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Francis Frith was there in 1897 - www.francisfrith.com/port-erin/port-erin-the-harbour-1897... - not sure if this is earlier or later, but possibly the shed middle left is not yet built in the Mason photo. Or is it out of frame?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    beachcomber australia Just out of frame, I think, but look at the ramp/steps in the Mason - I think a concrete job has been done to make it permanent in the Frith. I think the Mason is earlier.

AL-92 Alaskan Aerial Survey

    As per the December 1929 issue of the journal US Air Services*, this photo features three Loening OL-8A aircraft of the Alaskan Aerial Survey on the government dock at Juneau, Alaska. From left to right they are: The aircraft designated No. "2," BuNo A-8078, named Ketchikan; the aircraft designated No. "4", BuNo A-8076, named Sitka; and the aircraft designated No. "1," BuNo A-8072, named Juneau. The fourth aircraft, designated No. "3," BuNo A-8079, and named Petersburg, took the photo. The Lapwing-class minesweeper USS Gannet (AM-41), also captured in the photo, performed the role of aircraft tender for the survey expedition, and would lift the Loening OL-8A's and place them upon the dock after the completion of each sortie. *Grinstead, Frances "Air Mapping in Alaska with Loening Amphibians." U.S. Air Services, Vol. XIV, No. 12, December 1929, pp. 43-46.
