Launched in 1953, the Guinness ships, the M.V. "Lady Gwendolen" and M.V. "Lady Grania", were the first ships in the world specifically designed for the bulk carriage of beer. Since then the Guinness fleet has added the M.V. "Lady Patricia" launched in Dublin on 11th October, 1962.
(Ireland's Saturday Night - Saturday 06 March 1965) and
the Ladies Grania, Gwendolen and Patricia together land 750,000 barrels of Guinness a year at Liverpool and Manchester.
(Drogheda Argus and Leinster Journal - Saturday 01 February 1964)

The MV Atlanta was broken up at Rainham in Essex in 1992. The owner of the shipbreaking company Mr Morez was fined £500 after an oil spillage from the ship. It turned out that a valve had been removed by thieves looking for scrap. The valve was of gun metal and of greater value then other stainless steel valves. (Chatham Standard - Tuesday 18 February 1992)

The lovely Elinor seems to like Butt Bridge, and visited several times. I think this wonderful photo of a lad with a blanket may be the same sunny afternoon - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000048396

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...
