Two men pictured with rowboats in a yard - Dun Laoghaire
Summary
To end the week we have another Hargrave shot. Labelled as "Two men pictured with rowboats in a yard: in an unidentified location", we though that perhaps the location might seem obvious to some - but not be as easy as it seems for all.....Sure enough, derangedlemur ( /photos/8468254@N02/ ) quickly proposed Dun Laoghaire, and this was seconded and later corroborated by swordscookie ( /photos/swordscookie/ ) and sharon.corbet ( /photos/129555378@N07/ ) . See comments below for a suggestion from O Mac ( /photos/91549360@N03/ ) on the possible type of boat pictured, and beachcomberaustralia's ( /photos/beachcomberaustralia/ ) invite for a bit of virtual snooping in the nearby yacht club (opened a few years before Hargrave took this shot)....Photographer: Joshua H. Hargrave. .Collection: Joshua H. Hargrave Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Author/Home?author=Joshua H. Hargrave Collection ) . .Date: c.1895. .NLI Ref: HAR140 ( vtls000289291 ) . .You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
Images from our photo collections that show those magnificent men (and women) in their flying, choo choo-ing, and driving machines... Oh, and we've cheated, we're adding boats and ships, jaunting cars and carriages, trams too and bicycles - we're completely shameless. So, basically any form of transport - air, sea, land - with the exception of two human feet...
