The title comes from the "Eton Boat Song" and modern usage does not apply! Mr. Poole has taken a fine portrait of the New Ross four though there are 6 people in the image. I suspect that there may have been a "sub" during the year or it may be that the club's captain and the coxswain is included?

Photographer: A. H. Poole

Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford

Date: Catalogue date c.1898

    The New Ross Boat Club had their 21st annual regatta in July of 1898 according to the Freeman's Journal newspaper.

    Megazoom - the inscription on the jug on the bottom step says 'Challenge Cup' which is odd because it's the only trophy which isn't a cup. Below that there's a year. It's not clear but I'd hazard a guess at 1893 or 1895.

    There's a photo of what I assume is Waterford Boat Club (despite the title) given their jackets here with what looks like the same Challenge Cup at the bottom, though turned the other way.

    It was deciphered as the Harbour Commissioners Challenge Cup, when it appeared before: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/8401799848

    Only the guy and the left is looking at the camera. The other 5 are focused on something else - the photographer?
