    The ship, the Luimneach, was sunk by gunfire from a U-boat in 1940. All of the crew members survived, 15 making their way home via Spain and 3 being imprisoned as POWs in France. www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?12944
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    According to this set of articles on the Limerick Steamship Co., the Luimneach was previously the Fairfield that had been sunk at Zeebrugge in WWI and later raised. It had been built in 1915, in Tyne, and was in service at the LSS Co. from 1922-1940.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Also according to that article, if it is 1931 then, the ship's captain would have been Captain W. McNamee, who retired in August 1932.

    Possibly ordered by Walter J. Farrell, master mariner and harbourmaster of Waterford port. Here he is in 1911 living in Sion Row, but in a house larger than anything standing now, I think. Possibly in one of these mostly demolished houses (Streetview).

    From the shape of that outcrop above, I think we are on the Wooden Bridge looking Northwest. The buildings are mostly the GSW railway: Streetview, GeoHive 25" map

    In this earlier Lawrence shot of the station, there is no road on the seaward side, and no room for one: L_CAB_00246

    The signal box seems to have survived all the newer roads and buildings ...

    Of interest - "François Hennebique (26 April 1842 – 7 March 1921) was a French engineer and self-educated builder who patented his pioneering reinforced-concrete construction system in 1892, integrating separate elements of construction, such as the column and the beam, into a single monolithic element. The Hennebique system was one of the first appearances of the modern reinforced-concrete method of construction. ,,, " From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Hennebique

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Who me ?! Flickr is sometimes helpful - via Paul O'Farrell "Paddle Steamer S.S. Vandeleur at Waterford late 1800's. This ship was built at the Malcolmson family's Neptune Shipyard in Waterford in 1866 and according to the book "Ship Building in Waterford" by Bill Irish she operated first on the Shannon Estuary service before returning to the Suir to work the Waterford to Duncannon route."
  • beachcomber australia said:
    So, after 1866, so far! *knocks a whole year off the date range*
  • beachcomber australia said:
    "... The Vandeleur actually stopped on the Duncannon route in May 1893 and was broken up in 1908. ..." From - tidesandtales.ie/tag/waterford-steamship-company/
