Two men who knew the Shannon Estuary like the back of their hand - sea captain John (Sonny) Davis (1887-1957) on the left and his brother Thomas (1892-1981) from Labasheeda on their boat the "Alzina" (a 25-ton cutter or small/medium sailing ship with single mast) in 1954. For many years the brothers transported merchandise by boat between Limerick and Labasheeda. Their father, John Davis, was also a boatman. He married Hanora Kelly (John's mother) in 1884. Sadly, she died of TB in 1890, at the age of 34. John then married Catherine McMahon (Thomas's mother) in 1891. Catherine died at the age of 27, of dropsy, in 1895. The photo was taken by the press photographer Donal MacMonagle (1924-2001) from Kerry.
