Arthur Henri Poole - A motley crew?

The captain and crew of the SS Dungeness out of Glasgow pose for a photograph in Irelands oldest city, Waterford! A nice cheerful group to start our week while outside the sun is shining and all is well with the world!..The general consensus is that the location and date here are very likely correct and as expected (the Waterford quays, perhaps opposite Ferrybank, in August 1910). Based on this the suggestion is that the captain was then Capt. John Henderson. Who perhaps moved on to another Clyde Shipping Co. vessel in late 1910 or early 1911. We like John Spooner ( /photos/johnspooner/ ) 's suggestion that this was somehow a "farewell" commission by or for the crew. Other interesting details and images of the vessel linked from the ever-interesting comments.......Photographer: A. H.
