Twenty men good and true…

Pictured above are a bunch of Ringsend dockers posing for a photographer during the offloading of a ship.
Larry Murphy, my step grandfather, can be seen in the second row, fourth from left. Can anybody identify and name the rest of the group, the ship and the approximate date?

With the hoppers and tub in the background, this had to be a coal boat and the mast-like structure in the background may offer a clue of sorts as to its actual berthing place.

With their number eight shovels, whose weight alone would put many a man off a Docker’s job, these men were indeed unsung heroes.
