Robert French - On the beach

description

Summary

A scene from a beach, apparently in Achill, where the locals are gathered with tins, buckets, boats and nets. What is really unusual and demands some explanation is the man inspecting the nets while holding a gun? (Incidentally this is the first time I can recall uploading an "Imperial" sized image to this stream. I shall have to study it carefully to see the difference such a significant size will make.)..We are on Dooagh Beach, thanks Niall McAuley ( /photos/gnmcauley/ ) I think we can understand that the peopel we see had a hard existence, it is nice to see some of them playfully pose for the camera. BeachcomberAustralia ( /photos/beachcomberaustralia/ ) provides a piece from the magnificent Trove website curated by our friends from The National Library of Australia ( URL ) where we see Michael Davitt pleading for the building of Piers and Harbours for the fishermen in the area, Davitt argues that at little expense the construction would save uncounted lives and increase fishing productivity. There is evidence of a small pier in the streetview, I wonder how long after this photo it was built?..Photographer: Robert French..Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000313414 ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1880-1900..NLI Ref: L_IMP_1289 ( vtls000248604 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )

An excellent example of GetArchive image recognition capabilities - is quite a large Fishing Boat collection. A fishing boat is a marine vessel designed specifically for fishers. They are equipped with features that make fishing easier and more efficient. Fishing boats come in a huge range of sizes, and shapes.
