IMPERIAL WEEK - Long jetty and sinking ships at Fair Head

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  • Rory Sherlock said:
    I think the twin-funnel, tug-like vessel is pumping water out of the part-submerged vessel - the tug might be registered in Sunderland, but I can't make out the name
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    The cart on the jetty seems to be on a flat skid, which runs on rails along the jetty.

    EDIT: The man behind the horse at the landward end of the jetty seems to be leaning on an empty skid - the cross-rail he's leaning on would support the shafts of the cart
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    The first edition Ordnance Survey 6" map shows lots of collieries along the coast between Fair Head and Ballycastle, so it seems likely that coal brought by cart to the jetty at Ballycastle, where the skids on the jetty allowed coal to be tipped directly into the ships.
    The collieries seem to have worked the coastal cliffs and had great names:
    Salt Pans Colliery
    White Mine Colliery
    Falbane Colliery
    North Star Colliery
    West Mine Colliery
    Lagglass Colliery
    Goldnamuck Colliery
    Pollard Colliery
    Griffin Colliery
    Gobb Colliery
    Portnagree Colliery

    The wreck may well be that of the Grimsby steam trawler Starling which sank in the harbour in 1902.
