    Scottish coastal rower here. We row with a crew of four and in our club the bow and stroke (stern) oars are shorter than the others in some of our sets. I imagine the boat these chaps rowed was very similar to our skiffs, which are based on a traditional Fair Isle design. www.flickr.com/photos/hockadilly/23428062580/

    A search for Intacta says straight away that this is Waterford Boat Club.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Based in Canada Street, but the place has been extensively rebuilt.
  • derangedlemur said:
    The club was estiblished on 20th May 1878.

    I'm guessing they are in the actual park across the road, rather than on the school grounds. Not many trees on school grounds at the time. 25" map link. The school is still there: Streetview

    The Fairy Queen beside the conductor especially looks REALLY happy! No wonder Waterpark were no good at rugby going around in pyjamas all the time!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Fairies, pixies, an animal or two. A King and a Queen fairy, obviously. The dude behind the conductor could be a flower. I'm guessing that all the taller lads at the back are supposed to be humans, as are some of the front row. Something based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, maybe?

    Swordscookie On the other hand, Waterpark fly halves really did have wings!

    Nice riposte Carol and they did not need a well known caffeine crammed soft drink to get them either!

    Sad to think all these guys are dead. I wonder what they achieved in their lives. Lovely historical shot.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Indeed, wonder how many went on to science as a career.
  • Christine Curtin said:
    Faces so full of promise.
  • Stuart said:
    How strange - notice that all the labelled chemical bottles are empty !! Wonder could this be a promotional photograph of their new chemistry laboratory- probably taken even before the first chemistry practical class? Obviously the lads are posing with no experiment to be performed. Stuart.

    You could be right, Stu. Watepark College was only 8 years old when this photo was taken: www.waterparkcollege.com/
