The Art of Hat-Wearing was obviously still very much alive in 1960.

John Spooner Both Malones look fantastic in cap and hat. Very dapper.

What is Mr. Malone Jr. planning to shoot with a rifle in Ashtown, I wonder? Ducks on the canal?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley I don't know! Ashtown wouldn't have been very built up back in 1960? Wouldn't there have been agricultural land around there, or am I raving?

Title is wrong, it's "driven ashore" , like the boats in the next picture.

Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it. "Driven" makes sense.

Surely related to the typhoon, see next photo.

Please reconsider retitling this photo to spell out Japanese. The abbreviation chosen is offensive to many and reverts to the dismissive terminology used during WWII and is out of place in this day and age.

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
The Library of Congress said:
Thanks for understanding that no offense is intended. We retain the original title of a photograph as part of preserving the historical record. The Bain News Service photo titles are available from several sources—typed in the set of caption cards consulted while making the scans, hand-written on an older set of cards, and etched on the negatives themselves. Abbreviated spellings are common, and in this case, the sources all abbreviate the word Japanese.

Wearing their Sunday best for a photograph. Try working just one full day in the fields and see how much zip you have and how good you look afterwards. They were proud women and I commend them. The photo give me pride in our ancestors.
