  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luisa_Tetrazzini
  "Luisa Tetrazzini (29 June 1871 – 28 April 1940) was an Italian coloratura soprano of great international fame. Tetrazzini's voice was remarkable for its phenomenal flexibility, thrust, steadiness and thrilling tone. She enjoyed a highly successful operatic and concert career in Europe and America from the 1890s through to the 1920s, but her final years were marred by poverty and ill health."
  
  We've seen her before

  Paddle steamer built by Fairfield, Govan, Scotland, that entered service as Jupiter in 1937 between Greenock and the Kyles Of Bute. During WW2 she served as minesweeper HMS Scawfell, as well as an escort ship in the North Sea and attending the Normandy landings. Returned to commercial service in 1946. Withdrawn in 1957. Sold by the Caledonian Steam Packet in 1960 but never taken up, She was broken up at Dublin in 1961.

  Flickr is sometimes amazing! Via Robert Waverley And a model and more information from the Scottish Maritime Museum 8 April 1961 was a Saturday ...

• Fred Dean Snr. said:

  Looking at the warehouses on the quay, I think this is the Grand Canal Basin. The Lock gates are just in front of her.

• beachcomber australia said:

  A little more info on another photo of the model - www.flickr.com/photos/scottishmaritimemuseum/4878427013/ - "... "Scawfell" returned safely to the Clyde after the War, and after reconditioning her original name was restored. "Jupiter" resumed normal sailings on the Firth in 1946, and after being converted to oil burning in 1956-57, continued to sail on the Clyde until she was sold to a Belfast buyer in1960. ..."

  No doubt Hammond Lane in Ringsend were the ones wielding the gas axe....
