A Mason image to begin this weeks postings. Specifically, a maritime scene, with what seems a familiar headland in the background(?) The many boats and fishing vessels grounded during low tide gives the men a chance to carry out checks and repairs. The breakwater seems more natural stone than a man made construction. Are we looking at a natural harbour?
Niall McAuley was quickest on the draw here, identifying this as Port Erin and Bradda Head on the Isle of Man....

Francis Frith was there in 1897 - www.francisfrith.com/port-erin/port-erin-the-harbour-1897... - not sure if this is earlier or later, but possibly the shed middle left is not yet built in the Mason photo. Or is it out of frame?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia Just out of frame, I think, but look at the ramp/steps in the Mason - I think a concrete job has been done to make it permanent in the Frith. I think the Mason is earlier.
