  Looks very familiar! (will think about the date).

• DannyM8 said:

  Shannon I would think

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebee2012] Keep thinking - all suggestions welcome, though from the width I'm thinking the Shannon just like DannyM8.

• Colin said:

  I was just going to say it is the Shannon, because those barges with the tall chimneys are Shannon barges, methinks. Could it be Foynes before development? Or is it one of the junctions between the Shannon and one of the canals?

• In Memoriam said:

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebee2012] Maybe you are thinking of Westport Quay? I am not sure that it quite right for it but it is very similar.

Refloating passenger pontoon

  Evidently the accident happened on 31/12/1918 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15818215
  
  This photo is likely on 6/1/1919 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15818947
  
  CREMORNE FERRY SERVICE.
  The Cremorne ferry service, which has been disorganised during the past week, owing to the sinking of the pontoon at the Cremorne wharf, will be resumed to-day [7/1/1919].
  The pontoon has been refloated, and a temporary structure, which will be utilised until the damaged one is repaired, was placed into position yesterday.

  Thanks beachcomber australia - it's quite a sight

What plane am I?

• JKClassic said:

  Curtiss? Looks a lot like the original curtiss with floats!

• flickrdownldr said:

  The single narrow float points toward Curtiss (or a copy thereof) - not all of the various versions were well photographed and there is at least one I know they had no photos of in the books on Curtiss I have read.

• Stig Jarlevik said:

  As said, Curtiss never seemed to use such a V-strut arrangement to attach the central float Stig
