    Now I'm no Gun expert but the handgun and holster has caught my eye. Firstly unusual length for holster to hang from belt what was the reason for this? Secondly the pistol handgrip has the shape of the Mauser C-96 and if so I this indicates German purchase?

    Nice capture.
  • oaktree_brian_1976 said:
    sure looks like a broomhandle Mauser. There was one on here a while ago, long time ago, we also found it based on the handle. They made millions of these, pretty common during WW1. Could go full auto, a bad boy. I imagine there were a few floating around post-war. www.spike.com/video-clips/n2wj7z/deadliest_warrior-weapon... Thompson has the circular magazine, 50 rounds I think. Chicago Piano we called them over here.

    Not the SS Lady Wicklow and not taken at Passage West. This is the London & North Western Railway Company's Dublin/Holyhead ferry S.S. Arvonia at Albert Quay, Cork. She was requisitioned as a troopship in Aug 1922 by the irish Free State and later used as an internment ship..... taken sometime after General Dalton landed 456 men at Passage West on August 8th. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000280472

    You can see this landing stage on the OS 25" map, but I don't remember it, so it must have been removed not too long after this photo. This page (by Irish Ship and Barge Fabrication) states that the last barge sailed in 1961.

    Here's a video of the same barge "on the move" - with funnels reclined. (Niall has the photo location spot-on BTW)
  • FrigateRN said:
    What a great old picture NLI, I love it and thank you for sharing. keep up the good work, your pictures are appreciated.
  • Economic Quiet said:
    Where did they store the barrels.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    If you watch guliolopez 's video, you can see the barge full of empties going upstream.
