    Carol, NLI, Thanks. Its hard to believe that the photo is of a ships wireless room? Any ideas? DG

    desmondg47 I was concerned about the windows! But look here: catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=Conningbeg&ty... and the Poole negative numbers are consecutive, implying the title and subject of the photo is correct...

    Here is some history of the S.S. Conningbeg. On Monday the 17th December 1917 she sailed from Liverpool bound for Waterford and failed to arrive. www.irishships.com/loss_of_the_steamers__ss.html

    There's a Garda station in Co. Cork with a background just like that one but I am not sure of the name. I think it might be Aghadoe. It is probably closed now after all the cuts.

    From the shadows on the window reveals it looks like the building is facing south with a strong westerly breeze blowing the smoke from the chimney.

    Ferdinand Kuehn was a wireless (telegraph) operator from the Bronx who, in January 1914, was working on the ocean liner "Monroe." When the Monroe wrecked and began to sink, Kuehn gave his life preserver to a woman, and he died. He was twenty years old.
