    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.

    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.

    I had this ready to post but I had forgotten that the following related photo had already been posted. Your comments on this photo are still welcome.

    Looks like it's probably down here on Pigeonhouse road maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,719062,733954,11,9.

    Presumably that's a pile of the tobacco leaf itself (removed from the barrel) on the slip way?
  • derangedlemur said:
    They probably used it to make JP Navy Cut Extra Salty.
  • guliolopez said:
    derangedlemur Did they not know that flavoured tobacco is on its way to being outlawed? I found this in the Indo from Tuesday 17 May 1921: www.flickr.com/photos/20727502@N00/27127766860/ And this from the Examiner on Monday 16 May 1921: www.flickr.com/photos/20727502@N00/27369909746/

    "... The British Navy fishery protection vessel Malcolm (1,500 tons) fla[g]ship of the R.N. Protection Squadron commanded by Captain H.H. Bracken arrived for a five day visit in Dublin Linc[o]ln and Nolan of Dublin supplied two Austin cars for the use of the officers during their stay and handed over the keys to the navy men on arrival. ..."
