    Nice photo. Before I was born & not being Irish- I also don't know what the Hell they were doing, but it seems that it interested many people back then - - -

    Barton was the name of Erskine Childers mother and they were part of the Barton and Guestier wine growing and shipping company. The original Barton was Thomas - is it possible that the two are related. I tried to google the name but did not do too well. It does appear that the Childers family had strong connections to Waterford.

    Swordscookie Well, keep at it! ;) No T. Barton in Waterford in either 1901 or 1911 census...

    Swordscookie Re Barton and Childers, see our OTHER Flickr photostream (that's swanky for you)!

    It may be a red herring, but a "Bovril boat" was a boat used in London to carry sewage out to sea ([en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril_Boats]). The small boats in the foreground don't seem to match the description, but perhaps the larger ones in the background do.

Captain's on the bridge!

    Assuming we have the same ship, it has an interesting story... "Ambria was a cargo ship that was built in 1922 by Deutsche Werft, Finkenwerder for German owners. She was sold in 1934 and renamed Gumbinnen. She was sunk by a British destroyer in 1941, raised and repaired." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Ambria

    Presumably that 'thing' is for putting water in locomotives, going by the dribbles. But why is it furry ?

    beachcomber australia That is an interesting finish on the pump, it looks somewhere between barnacles and bearskin!

    I think Mr French was on the old bridge. Streetview from the new bridge shows the warehouse with the bite taken out of its roof is still there (see note) - goo.gl/maps/q2DjHZK5GBT2
