This is a feast for the eyes with all that is going on here! The sorting by the men and women closest to the camera, under the eye of the overseer, is clearly dried fish. The barrels are so numerous it has to have been a large fishing port. Off in the distance a hulk seems to be beached on the far shore of the river/inlet! Terrific image.

Valentia according to this photo. "Barrels of pickled mackerel at the Slate Yard, Knightsown, awaiting shipment to the United States at the turn of the century". is the description underneath.

See this General view of the harbour at Knight's town, i can't see where this fits at all.

Niall McAuley Looking at the map, (maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,442629,577319,12,9), you can't get the googlemobile into the right spot. It's the other side of the Royal Pier Bar. (Also, it's not like you not to be reaching straight for the 25" - was it broken earlier?)

I used to holiday down here as a kid. I think the picture is taken from the slate mines on the island. It provided the slates for the UK's Houses of Parliament.

Portmagee Fish Curing, Co.Kerry

Mossy Carey said:
Valentia Island is in the background and a bridge was opened between Portmagee and Valentia in 1971. Valentia in the title seems a little misleading. Everybody knows each other in both places; but one wouldn't want to persuade them that they are one and the same.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Mossy Carey One certainly would not! Title changed now, and I'll try to remember to change it in our catalogue too. Again, that was from the original Lawrence information.
