Summary edit

Description

Our final "Clarke Week" entry, and probably our last Clarke image for a while, keeps us on the capital's south side where men are readying a float. The phrase "float your boat" takes on different meaning here, and there's definitely a nautical theme, but we wondered what might be happening. While we initially focused on the possible lettering between the masts and questioned if a signal flag expert might help, [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet] pointed-out that we overlooked a note in the catalogue entry which gives context:  Boat decorated with garlands etc. as part of an annual fund-raising flag day held by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution [....]

Perhaps the event is held at a particular time of year, or always in the same spot - to help with date or location?

There is an interesting article on recent conservation treatments over on our blog www.nli.ie/blog/ please have a look if you have the time.

The full title of the article is Acidic patches to zombie whites – recent conservation treatments.
