This looks remarkably similar to the Shorpy entry "Two Sheets to the Wind: 1905". Perhaps one of the photos' year attribution is mistaken?

[Do we not know what "circa" means? - Dave]

2025/04/05 edit: If you are using the "royal we" then I can't answer that as I don't know your level of vocabulary. I could recommend a dictionary if necessary.

In no way was I implying "the bloody idiot doesn't know what he's doing" or anything similar. I was just making an observation about a date discrepancy and a possible resolution.

My point was that if you know the year of this image to be specifically 1903 or close and the visual evidence shows that the other image was taken at the same time as this one then the "circa 1905" on the other image could be changed to "circa 1903". Years for other images here have been changed when it has been shown that a correction is warranted.

Maybe they're out looking for the girls.

A Floridian, I assumed that, as with Jacksonville and Miami, there were two separate municipalities, one with 'Beach' in the name and one without.

Not so. It was founded as New Britain in 1875 by people from Connecticut, but incorporated as Ormond in 1880. Some sources, including Wikipedia, say it was named for James Ormond I (d. 1817), a swashbuckling sea captain who had received a land grant from the Spanish crown. Others say it was named for his son James II (d. 1829), who is the one buried in or near James Ormond Tomb Park. There was also a James Ormond III (d. 1892), who was around when the town's name was changed. The Ormond Tomb marker (1962) just says it was named for the family.

It became the City of Ormond Beach in 1950.
