    taking a guess, is this Kilroot at Carrickfergus?
  • Robin Parkes said:
    Foxglove It's not Kilroot. I worked on Kilroot and it has vertical cladding and no windows. Someone will eventually tell us where it is.

    Ringsend Power Station? Some elements line up, such as the U-shaped building with the curving section on the roof: www.google.co.in/maps/@53.3394858,-6.2037017,388m/data=!3...
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    If it is Ringsend, then the main building and chimney have been changed (which seems unlikely), but the set of 4 circular tank bases in Morgan's photo line up with 4 existing tanks on the modern aerial view and the wedge-shaped property to the north of the 4 tanks is still identifiable

    How very decadent. Wonderful photos.

    I'd love to see one of the ship berthed at Arklow. I never miss a visit to the Maritime Museum each time I'm down there.
  • Vab2009 said:
    Very opulent! What a great image though - so much detail and this was taken below decks - must have needed a hefty exposure!!

    "Her first voyage to North America began on 17 June 1860" She was converted into a cable-laying ship in 1865. "The conversion work for Great Eastern's new role consisted in the removal of funnel no. 4 and some boilers as well as great parts of the passenger rooms and saloons" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Eastern

    The British Rail train ferry Cambridge Ferry. She operated between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire in February 1991, right at the end of her career. She was also a regular on the Fishguard - Rosslare run during the late 1980s.

    Troops? [ed. Oh I see what you meant!] "... In 1972, Cambridge Ferry and Essex Ferry made ten voyages between Harwich and Dublin, Ireland to deliver new rolling stock to CIÉ. ..." From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Cambridge_Ferry

    Flickr is sometimes surprisingly amazing! In 1984 via TimWebb

    There's a connection between this ferry and Train Ferry 2 seen at Cork. Both used the same "link span" at Harwich. This links span was moved from Port Richborough after WW1 and is now a national monument in Harwich. flic.kr/p/bKFARH I wonder how those new coach's with their 5' 3” Irish guage aligned with the 4' 81/2” British guage on the ferry?
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Well, they didn't, must have been up on wooden blocks or something. Delivery of seventy-two Mk2 coaches from Derby. Lasted in service till 2008. I wonder what it was doing on the Fishguard run as train ferrries were never a feature between Britain and Ireland
