Via Trove, here is a delightful and extraordinary story of two brothers, Rowland and Aremberg Blennerhassett (sons of the man who built the windmill ? - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blennerville_Windmill), who set out from the wharf in the photo at 5am on 29 June 1844 in a 24-foot open boat. They rowed, pulled and sailed to Dublin via Kilrush and inland waterways, so that they could pay their respects to the Liberator, Daniel O'Connell in prison. ... ... Read All About It ! - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/31744256 Morning Chronicle, Sydney 21/12/1844 p.4 Originally from the Kerry Examiner 3/7/1844
