A visit to the East Pier in Howth today on a fine Royal Plate. Mr. French has used his considerable charms to persuade some young ladies to stand still and pose to make the scene even more attractive. Is it just that my old eyes deceive me or is there a strong resemblance between those on view?

Is the tram we see in the distance a Dublin tram or a Hill of Howth Tramway tram?
O Mac
That's a Dublin United Tramways Company tram. The Howth terminus was at the base of the East pier.

Electric trams but no electric street lamps yet. And the tide is out.

He missed the best subject, there . . . The young lady with the umbrella. She was perfectly posed for an exquisite portrait. Photographers often make the mistake of trying to include too much detail in a single frame or picking the wrong subject in a scene.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ More specifically, the tram was operated by the Clontarf and Hill of Howth Tramroad in conjunction with the DUTC. They were larger than the Dublin trams and operated between 1900 and 1941. The route was from Dollymount to the pier and was a continuation of the DUTC line. Fare was 2/6, which seems expensive to me. I can see a jaunting car waiting patiently at the start of the pier. Reverse view https://flic.kr/p/2mfWiQa

In 1905, a Marconi station was installed at the Martello Tower in Howth

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] The radio mast is visible in this one, via [https://www.flickr.com/photos/fingallocalstudies/], which also includes a couple of sheds at the land end of the pier, not apparent in today's photo - [https://www.flickr.com/photos/fingallocalstudies/7838353702/] Edit - the 'shed' at left is the 'Parcels Express' office, there by 1914 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000722219 Edit 2 - And the tide is out.

L_ROY_01222 next door is Howth Castle, with the 1910ish renovations looking fresh
Niall McAuley
but L_ROY_01224 of Howth from inland has no Marconi mast, so these are together in the catalogue because Howth, not dates
