Irish Cedar 1983/4.
The first picture, is of my son Ian O Shea aged 6 months in May '83 on board the Irish Cedar.
The second two photo's are of Ian, now aged 2 in October '84 also on board the Irish Cedar. (Note: the same sunglasses).
At age 2, Ian had more sea time than some of the new deckhands on that trip.
