Yacht : commissioned by Mrs. Stanley Lyons, 62 Leinster Road, Rathmines
Summary
A fine days sailing in the offing with a fine yacht decked out with bunting and flags. Given that it was during the Emergency it seems a bit 'off' but I'm sure life went on!..We did not discover much about the Yacht. The intrepid derangedlemur ( /photos/8468254@N02/ ) identified the location as Dunmore East Co. Waterford. ..We did learn a little about Mr Stanley Lyon (not Lyons as per our description). He was a statistician and worked for the Government. He was appointed Head of Statistics and Director of Statistics in 1930 and he held that position until 1947. He was responsible for managing the 1946 Census. ..Photographer: A. H. Poole..Collection: Poole Photographic Studio ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=A.H.+Poole&type=Author&sort=title&view=grid ) ..Date: though labelled as c.2 January 1943 is very unlikely to be January..NLI Ref: POOLEWP 4405 ( vtls000595061 ) ..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...
