EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this late 19th century photograph of Kingstown Harbour, now known as Dun Laoghaire, in County Dublin, Ireland. The image showcases the bustling activity of the harbour, with an array of ships of various sizes and shapes anchored in the calm blue waters. The ships, which were a vital mode of transport during this era, were essential for the connection of Ireland to the rest of the world, bringing in goods, people, and news from far-off lands. The coastal town of Kingstown, with its picturesque Victorian architecture, can be seen in the background, nestled between the harbour and the rolling green hills. The town's name was changed to Dun Laoghaire in 1920, meaning 'fort of Laoghaire,' in honor of the legendary Irish king, Laoghaire mac Neill. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where the sea and its shipping industry played a pivotal role in the daily lives of the people of Ireland. The image is a testament to the rich maritime history of the country and the important role that Kingstown Harbour played in shaping it. This photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Irish history, maritime history, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty of the past. It is a window into a time when the world was more connected than ever before, and the sea was the highway that brought people and nations closer together.
