    Now that I screw my monocle in more tightly, is that a Lock Hard in his "official" cap, having a chat with the driver about payment?

    Errr...what do the two signs with the red line through the P and arrows to either side mean again? No peeing?

    There's no need to apologise - this is a great documentary 'action' shot from the 1920s which really captures the drama of the event. So far as the ad's concerned... when I worked on newspapers as a reporter in the 1960s, spaces on the pages were allocated for ads, but we (in the editorial department) never knew what the content of the ads were - they were just blank spaces during the production process. If that's how it was at the Irish Independent way back then, it's likely to be coincidence - a nice one, though!

    Peter Denton The next ad was for Minimax Hand Fire Extinguishers and proclaimed "50,230 actual fires extinguished by the Minimax Hand Fire Extinguisher since January, 1904 (include many indendiary burnings). Refills free; inspections free; & Descriptive pamphlet free from Minimax Ltd., Dublin." Sadly, I would imagine that business was booming in Ireland at this time...

    An O'Dea shot with a difference here! While O'Dea's great love was the railways he had an eye for a shot and in this case the visit of two naval vessels to Dublin.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There were at least two more ships hiding behind these.

    Streetview. (Well somewhere in the Sir John Rogerson's Quayish area.)

    322 was the HMCS Lauzon , 305 the La Hulloise. 317 was the Cap de la Madeleine . All three were Prestonian class frigates (converted from River class) of the Royal Canadian Navy, and saw service during WW2 as escorts in the Atlantic. All four ships can be seen at the quay in the second photo.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The "Crow's Nest", the RCN Magazine from 1963 has a nice description of the event "Friendly Dublin" (starting page 5): ASK ANY MAN of the Ninth Escort Squadron to name his favourite liberty port, and the chances are he'll name Dublin, Ireland. Unless, of course, he says "Eire" instead of Ireland, just to prove he was really there one sparkling morning of last July when five frigates of Cortron Nine steamed up the River Liffey.
