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 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
Date: though labelled as c.2 January 1943 is very unlikely to be January
NLI Ref: POOLEWP 4405

GIven that it's Poole, I'm guessing Dunmore East. See also catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000324429

For anyone else who wants to have a sticky-beak at 62 Leinster Road, Rathmines, where there's not a lot of room to park the yacht - streetview - goo.gl/maps/cYkeQNV6mwT2

Is there some "touching-up" to be seen either side of the main mast? Perhaps some photoshopping to clean-up and declutter some rigging? Whatever the case, it might be interesting for someone with a knowledge of semaphore flags to perhaps interpret whether anything is actually spelled-out? (Or if it's just "bunting" as described....

Might be a first visit to port when ship's would be " fully dressed" or maybe a regatta. flic.kr/p/t3QtY3

https://www.flickr.com/photos/hinkleberry I think a regatta might be the best bet as there is a second "Fully Dressed" Yacht in the right background.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] I have no idea what is going on with the "touching-up".

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland] ....[https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]] is right.. The lean-to building in the photograph can be seen on the pier here.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland The pier and the sea wall look a lot different now, but judging by the old photos I could find, it looked like that back in the day. https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]'s photo is the conclusive proof I was missing.

Quite Interesting Red Herring - the Lyons had a near neighbour in Leinster Road - number 49B "Surrey House" was the home of Countess Markievicz during the 1910s, and was described as "more of an army HQ than a home".
