    W.B.C. Waterford Boat Club ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Fred Dean Snr. I would say so. There is a 'similar item' with at least some of these outstanding characters looking very stripey in their boat - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000589993 And these photos of WBC members from 1901 - www.askaboutireland.ie/aai-files/assets/libraries/waterfo... and 1903 - www.askaboutireland.ie/aai-files/assets/libraries/waterfo... (from - www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/sports-recreation/spo...) make me think this photo is earlier in the 1890s; the clothing, aesthetic poses, etc. Or not?

    Is the one on the right a candle holder, or is it just a really weirdly shaped trophy?
  • Paul O'Farrell said:
    I believe the young man to the left of the trophy is Cornelius Patrick "Banquo" Redmond who was cox for the W.B.C., he was also proprietor and editor of the Waterford News. He died at the age of 44 in 1907. www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ I would agree this is likely sometime in the 1890's.


    His resting place along with his father in Ballygunnar, Waterford.

    Sharon Corbet I thought it might have been a punch bowl, but there is mention of 'rose bowls' on that Ask Ireland site (link above) - " ... L. P. Ridgeway was part of a winning Junior Fours crew in 1901. The team won many trophies and on one occasion each crew member was presented with a rose bowl. Nothing more was heard of this story until 2003, when a Reverent Ridgeway from South Africa contacted the club. This man was the son of L. P. Ridgeway and had in his possession the rose bowl, which was now 103 years old. ..." From - www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/sports-recreation/spo... It is a fantastically fragile looking thing - I am surprised that it lasted more than five seconds in a boat crew's locker room.
