    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.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There were at least two more ships hiding behind these.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    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.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    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.

The British have landed...

    The "Guinness Ladies" (Lady Grania, Patricia, and Gwendolen, later joined by Miranda Guinness) operated out of Dublin between 1952 - 1993

    Looks 1950/60s, can anybody ID the car model?
  • Ghost Radio said:
    Not sure, but car may be an Austin A30.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    75% sure the car is a Morris Oxford Series II (1954–1956) . Rear view ...

    Crane nameplate says "SAFE WORKING LOAD NOT TO EXCEED 4 TONS AT 55 FT RADIUS" built by Sir William Arrol & Co. Ltd. for handling cargo along the River Liffey.

    Only remnants are the tracks
