'Lady Betty Balfour' at Athlone Docks
'The Lady Betty Balfour' was a well known steamer on the Shannon at the turn of the twentieth century. She was built in Scotland for the Shannon Development Company and according to local tradition this picture was taken on the Docks in Athlone c1910. The occasion is said to have been the annual outing for the staff of Thomas Burgess & Sons. The firm of Thomas Burgess & Sons is still flourishing in Athlone having taken over the stock-in-trade of Matthew Headen in 1839. The picture captures the atmosphere of an Edwardian group heading to Lough Ree possibly to picnic on one of the islands.
