    Beautiful banner! Wonder if it still survives...

    It's the courthouse in Waterford:

    Streetview does not get very close.

    Sheerness was a cargo ship, and was wrecked at the Tuskar Rock in 1927.

    These men worked hard for their pay. I'd imagine more than a few of those pictured had an opinion (and probably input) into the general strike we spoke about late last week. Seemingly the NS&FU joined in the 1890s with other Waterford-based union branches to reduce the working-day to 10 hours, and gain an extra few shillings a week for the dock workers also. As with Carol Maddock, I'd love to think the banner survives. Might need the OFarl to contribute on that.... www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/31575454304/ EDIT: Connolly and Larkin and the ITGWU (representing the dock workers) seemingly did not always have a good relationship with Havelock Wilson and the NS&FU (representing the ship workers). Not helped I guess that Wilson's union was UK-based, and that an action by either group would (if not coordinated) affect the workers of the other union. It looks like members of the Dublin NS&FU branch joined the 1913 lockout however - even if the ITGWU seemingly covered their strike pay rather than the NS&FU itself....
