Framed address and citation among collectibles on offer

A framed 1892 address and citation to JW McMullen of Cork Harbour Commissioner’s on his retirement comes up at Woodward’s special auction of Irish and English silver, art, jewellery and collectibles next Saturday (November 29) at 11 am.

The Commissioner’s were extremely grateful to Mr. McMullen who the address records secured by an Act of Parliament an extension of the pilotage of Cork Harbour by 2,000 square miles.

The benefits of this, the commissioners recorded, were expected to be considerable.
