    In the background, just to the right of the mast, is the Fountain Clock Tower, Meagher's Quay, Waterford, 1861, by Charles Tarrant.

    The trials and tribulations of island life as felt by the poor auld cattle. It goes to show that horns on steers had their uses after all. If you can control the animals head you can control the animal! The poor thing must have been terrified?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Presumably fairly traumatic! And it can't have been much fun for the men either.
  • Tammy said:
    oh the horror! : (
  • cuisle west ... away awhile said:
    Seems I read something about this in Tomás Ó Crohan's 'The Islandman' ... brutal, but what else to be done? Why, 'tis enough to curdle a cow's milk for life, and scare the hair of any self respecitng bull.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    cuisle west ... away awhile Presumably it was a case of "Thank God we're surrounded by water!" except when we have to transport livestock...

    Ah! the SS EKORBMEP at Cheekpoint with a dent in her nose A short time after 23rd February 1899.
  • derangedlemur said:
    SS Pembroke: She operated as a paddle steamer from 1880 to 1895; the following year returning to service with twin screws and new boilers, all this time on the Irish Sea. In 1916 Pembroke was transferred to work from Weymouth as a cargo boat but on 24 September she was attacked by a U-boat so the following January she was fitted with a gun for defence. She was sold for scrap in 1925
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    If this is at Cheekpoint, then it was her second - this timedeliberate - grounding after she hit the Saltees on 18th February 1899.
  • derangedlemur said:
    SS Pembroke aground at Cheekpoint, was apparently a thing. Edit: Too slow and not funny enough again.
