The Thing

  • Swordscookie said:
    This appears to be truck or bus disguised as a tram as part of the cigarette companies advertising programme. In the Irish Photographic Archive there are numerous examples of the tram and it was used in the St. Patricks Day parade over a number of years. The Lord Mayor happily posed on the tram at that time and thus demonstrates how times have changed! Here is a link to the Archive!

    Don't think I've ever seen a tram with a reg plate before.

    The passengers are mannequins.

    It's not a "model", it's a "replica".

    March 17, 1914. Pleasant spring weather brought out a mighty throng of spectators, according to a report next day in The New York Times. The parade, scheduled for two p.m., started an hour late and ran for a full two hours. The mayor and the cardinal kept their seats during the entire time. The reviewing stand, of course, was in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral. New York Times story, March 18, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9806E3DC163AE6...

    Ooooh! This is better than Google satellite view... :) And it's March 1955 according to the catalogue record, so this is Thursday, 17 March 1955. The Lemur will be able to work out the time of day from the shadows!

    3D Google Satellite View - www.google.com/maps/@53.341387,-6.2590501,201a,35y,357.47... The google data above should give exact location and height with a bit of twiddling

    John Cardinal Murphy Farley (April 20, 1842 - September 17, 1918) was an Irish-American prelate, the seventh bishop (fourth archbishop) of the Roman Catholic diocese of New York. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cardinal_Farley

    Top of plate says (St. Pat Day '13) so I assume this was 1913.

    John D. Crimmins - Contractor, Catholic layman and philanthropist. ( ref. obit query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F06EFD6123FE433A... ref. photograph digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?1218718 ) Governor William Sulzer (soon to be impeached) (ref. cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/william-sulzer/ ) Here's the New York Times report dated March 18, 1913: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D0CE2DE173FE633A... Which contains this quote: " Cardinal Farley occupied the place of honor in the middle of the second row in the reviewing stand. Seated at his left were Gov. Sulzer and Mayor Gaynor On his right were Adjt Gen Hamilton and Mgr Lavelle. Seated in the front row were Mgr. McGean, Commissioner Edwards of the Department of Street Cleaning, Police Commissioner Waldo and Mgr. James Mooney." Although this particular photograph does not precisely reflect the seating order in that reporter's account.
