    For once, O'Dea was not documenting transport closures. From wikipedia: From 1873 to 1951 there was a ferry service between Greenore and Holyhead. The London and North Western Railway constructed a substantial hotel and railway station to serve passengers using the ferry. The original railway line ran from Dundalk to Greenore and the first service was 1 May 1873 when the station opened. In 1876 the railway line was extended to Newry. In the 19th century there was a ferry from Greencastle to Greenore. The railway and the station closed on 1 January 1952 and was replaced by bus services to Dundalk and Newry.\

Sterling family in the saloon on board E R STERLING

    I think the date is May - the end of the 'y' has overrun the active area of the negative and so not revealed. The player piano appears to be the same as in a previous picture (of Capt Milton?) but with different pctures on it.

    I'll have a dry martini please ... or maybe it has not been invented yet? The sun is well over the yard-arm where I am.

    It's a long way from the ferry to Holyhead! :-)

    Looks like it must be 1860-1865 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Eastern The Sept 1861 voyage looks like a contender - "On the second day out [from Liverpool] the wind increased to gale force, causing the ship to roll heavily"
  • ccferrie said:
    Although, the captain of the ship from 1866-78, during its cable-laying years, was a Wicklow man en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Halpin It seems odd that the saloon and dining saloon would be so luxuriously appointed for that kind of work though.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ccferrie The absolute earliest this could be is 1865, as Lawrence didn't set up in business until then. But logistically speaking, it was probably at least a few years after that. (Robert French, photographer on three-quarters of our Lawrence Collection didn't even start working for William Lawrence until 1880-ish....)
