This seems to be the most famous 'Galtee More'
ship. As the picture says, it operated as a passenger ship
for London and North Western Railway company on a couple of
different routes across the Irish Sea. Smoke billowing from the
stack is clear indication that it was a Steam Ship which gives
it the name S.S Galtee More. It was built by William Denny &
Brothers Ltd, shipbuilders and marine engineers, Dumbarton, West
Dunbartonshire, Scotland in 1898
and was probably named after the racehorse Galtee More which had
triumphed in several major races the previous year.
Postcards of the SS Galtee More can still occasionally
be had for a few euros on eBay.
