Our first non-clydebuilt steamer. This one seems to be from Liverpool (I'm waiting for the evidence to download).
derangedlemur said:
"A new steamer built at Liverpool P.S. Sybil (233 tons) replaced P.S. Meteor and became the youngest packet vessel at the Milford station in 1827. She was also the fastest steamer on the crossing with a record of 8 hours 13 minutes for a sailing between Milford and Dunmore East. " Hmm. I'm not sure that ship looks 70 years old.

Panhard 20hp with a visitor for the Gordon Bennett race and various motor car tours held by the Automotive Club over the week it ran, July 1903.

Ben Fagan You think definitely July 1903 then?
Ben Fagan said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons Definitely, at least one other photo taken from around the same position in the J.J. Clarke collection was attributed to the same time: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000168157 . Not to mention that the driver doesn't match any of the known early motorists of Ireland at this time. Also many came from as far as France to see the Race, which would explain the side panniers for holding tools etc - these were unusual at the time.

The driver reminds me of Mr Toad of Toad Hall, The Wind in the Willows - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Toad

Ben Fagan Huzzah! July 1903 it is then.

The Aberavon Wizards were always a great team when I was growing up and always seemed to have players on the great Welsh teams. I can imagine that the game was very rough as the Welsh lads were all from the mines and factories and tough cookies and Rugby in Cork in those days was for the more privileged members of society. The Cork crowd were no shrinking violets but the Aberavon lads would have perceived them as "soft". The knee protection was probably just that as the game in the pack in those days was very rough with "hacking" as a normal practice though I think that it had been outlawed by then. Hacking was literally kicking your opponent on the shin to clear him out of your way! Nice shot

They are still alive, kicking and sometimes providing players to the Ospreys. I think they would like to see this picture! www.aberavonwizards.co.uk/1876-1914.htm
