    Launched in 1953, the Guinness ships, the M.V. "Lady Gwendolen" and M.V. "Lady Grania", were the first ships in the world specifically designed for the bulk carriage of beer. Since then the Guinness fleet has added the M.V. "Lady Patricia" launched in Dublin on 11th October, 1962.
    (Ireland's Saturday Night - Saturday 06 March 1965) and
    the Ladies Grania, Gwendolen and Patricia together land 750,000 barrels of Guinness a year at Liverpool and Manchester.
    (Drogheda Argus and Leinster Journal - Saturday 01 February 1964)

    The MV Atlanta was broken up at Rainham in Essex in 1992. The owner of the shipbreaking company Mr Morez was fined £500 after an oil spillage from the ship. It turned out that a valve had been removed by thieves looking for scrap. The valve was of gun metal and of greater value then other stainless steel valves. (Chatham Standard - Tuesday 18 February 1992)

    The lovely Elinor seems to like Butt Bridge, and visited several times. I think this wonderful photo of a lad with a blanket may be the same sunny afternoon - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000048396

    Now that I screw my monocle in more tightly, is that a Lock Hard in his "official" cap, having a chat with the driver about payment?

    Errr...what do the two signs with the red line through the P and arrows to either side mean again? No peeing?

    An O'Dea shot with a difference here! While O'Dea's great love was the railways he had an eye for a shot and in this case the visit of two naval vessels to Dublin.

    There were at least two more ships hiding behind these.

    Streetview. (Well somewhere in the Sir John Rogerson's Quayish area.)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    322 was the HMCS Lauzon , 305 the La Hulloise. 317 was the Cap de la Madeleine . All three were Prestonian class frigates (converted from River class) of the Royal Canadian Navy, and saw service during WW2 as escorts in the Atlantic. All four ships can be seen at the quay in the second photo.

    The "Crow's Nest", the RCN Magazine from 1963 has a nice description of the event "Friendly Dublin" (starting page 5): ASK ANY MAN of the Ninth Escort Squadron to name his favourite liberty port, and the chances are he'll name Dublin, Ireland. Unless, of course, he says "Eire" instead of Ireland, just to prove he was really there one sparkling morning of last July when five frigates of Cortron Nine steamed up the River Liffey.
