Lucan Bridge, a welcome sight!

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

What a very elegant bridge. From wikipedia - "... The bridge is the largest single span masonry arch bridge in Ireland, and is constructed from ashlar masonry with a span of 33 metres (110 feet) and a rise of 6.7 metres (22 feet). It is framed by iron balustraded parapets made by the Royal Phoenix ironworks of Parkgate Street in Dublin. Designed by George Knowles (architect of Dublin's Fr. Mathew and O'Donovan Rossa Bridges), it was built in 1814 in collaboration with James Savage to replace several previous bridges which were carried away by floods ...

Looks like he took many railway photos that day. Note "salmon pass" in weir on right.

beachcomber australia The wikipedia article mentions a bridge washed away in 1786. On 13th May of that year Saunder's News-letter announced "Lucan Bridge is now open for carriages, being completed in a moft permanent manner, at the fole expence of Capt. Geo. Vesey". It's not clear whether this was to replace a bridge washed away earlier in the year, or whether it was to be washed away later in the year. Edit: The latter, because despite being "moft permanent" in 1786, in August 1787, in announcing plans for yet another "elegant new bridge", the same paper said: "paffengers who travel the low road are extremely terrified at paffing over the prefent ruinated one in carriages"

You can see this landing stage on the OS 25" map, but I don't remember it, so it must have been removed not too long after this photo. This page (by Irish Ship and Barge Fabrication) states that the last barge sailed in 1961.

Here's a video of the same barge "on the move" - with funnels reclined. (Niall has the photo location spot-on BTW)
FrigateRN said:
What a great old picture NLI, I love it and thank you for sharing. keep up the good work, your pictures are appreciated.
Economic Quiet said:
Where did they store the barrels.
Niall McAuley said:
If you watch guliolopez 's video, you can see the barge full of empties going upstream.

According to the Irish Times of March 8th 1960 (a Tuesday), the Senator Possehl was expected to arrive on Friday from Newport News carrying coal. (There is also a reference to Heitons?)

shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2270926 From the info on this site it would be fairly new (4years old)when this photo was taken. Paint work does look fresh and devoid of heavy rust stains.

There's a double-headed eagle on the bow, which is most likely the coat of arms of Lübeck. Emil Possehl (the person) was an important businessman and Senator in the Lübecker Senate. (German wiki).
