View along the River Wear

from North East Museums

  I like Sunderland. It's a great place to visit because it's compact and there's lots to see and do. There are also some very good shops (can't believe I like shopping!).

Koreshans setting up "The Air Line" rectilineator on the beach in Naples, Florida

from Florida Memory

• Florida Memory said:

  Shown during the Koreshan Unity's "Geodetic Survey." The rectilineator instrument was used to create a straight measuring line and "prove" the earth is concave.

• Florida Memory said:

  Included in the image are: U.G. Morrow, Harry Boomer second from left, L.S. Boomer, Abe Gush?, Geo. Stunt?.

  Somewhere near here? goo.gl/maps/SeLi1S5P3KZXMM35A It has hardly changed in 115 years. 7 May 1905 was a Sunday ... hence the Sunday best hats?

• Suck Diesel said:

  A sidecar and a bicycle. Passage East, not the other one.

• Suck Diesel said:

  Strongbow landed here in 1170, on his second visit, with several hundred knights. A ferry operated at the time of photo, and still does, acrosss the Suir to Ballyhack in Co. Wexford, saving over 30-miles by road. The notorious Geneva barracks were just south of here.

• John Spooner said:

  Megazoom releals some men standing in the street (just outside what is now the post office ) with their hands in their pockets, as if waiting for a bar to open. Could this possibly be a clue as to the time of day the picture was taken? (just before 2 p.m. if my understanding of Irish licensing laws in the early 20th century is correct)

• Swordscookie said:

  John Spooner yes John, on a Sunday that would have been right for those outside of Dublin. Dublin enjoyed the "Holy Hour" until quite recently but that only applied Monday to Saturday.
