National Maritime Museum of Ireland

The National Maritime Museum of Ireland (Irish: Músaem Mhuirí Náisiúnta na hÉireann) opened in 1978 in the former Mariners' Church in Moran Park, located between the seafront and the centre of Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, Ireland. President Michael D. Higgins officially re-opened the museum in 2012. History The church was built in 1837 for seafarers and remained open until 1971. In 1974 the Church of Ireland and the Maritime Institute of Ireland signed an agreement that led to the museum's opening. In 2006 substantial funding was authorised by the Government for capital expenditure to cover the cost of the refurbishment, however this funding has since ceased, and the museum is now dependent upon door receipts, fund raising events and donations. It is operated by volunteers and a community employment scheme provided by the Department of Social Protection. In July 2011 two stained-glass windows by artist Peadar Lamb were installed in the former church, sponsored by the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company. It reopened on 5 June 2012. Exhibits The Irish Lights: this exhibit is dominated by the Baily Optic from the Baily Lighthouse on Howth Head, which was in use from 1902 to 1972. It includes some inventions of John Richardson Wigham. The Great Eastern display: a history of the SS Great Eastern (designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel) including items belonging to its captain Robert Halpin and a clockwork model of the ship. Artefacts recovered from the wreck of the RMS Leinster and some contemporary accounts of the event. It was torpedoed in 1918 off the Kish lighthouse, within sight of Dún Laoghaire. Over 500 people were drowned. There are mirror-backed half-models of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company's ships: RMS Ulster, RMS Leinster, RMS Munster and RMS Connaught. St Columba's Chapel: this area remembers Irish ships during World War II. There is a collection of paintings by Kenneth King and the bullet-holed flag of the MV Kerlogue. The Mariners Church building is also a major attraction.

Narodowe Muzeum Morskie Irlandii (irl. Músaem Mhuirí Náisiúnta na hÉireann, ang. National Maritime Museum of Ireland) – narodowe muzeum marynistyczne Irlandii zlokalizowane w Dún Laoghaire. Historia Narodowy Instytut Morski Irlandii, który prowadzi muzeum, został założony w 1941. Sama placówka mieści się w dawnym kościele marynarskim przy Haigh Terrace w Dún Laoghaire (mieście położonym w południowej części aglomeracji Dublina). Świątynię na 1400 osób wzniesiono w 1837. Jedna trzecia miejsc przeznaczona była dla rodzin pracowników marynarki, straży przybrzeżnej i organów skarbowych. W 1971 kościół zamknięto ze względu na spadek frekwencji wiernych, a w 1974 podpisano porozumienie pomiędzy właścicielem (Kościołem Irlandii), a Irlandzkim Instytutem Morskim i po remoncie otwarto w 1978 jako muzeum, zachowując charakter budowli (m.in. witraże i tablice upamiętniające kolejnych proboszczów). Ekspozycja Placówka gromadzi pamiątki związane z szeroko pojętą marynarką irlandzką. Do najciekawszych eksponatów należą m.in.: Bantry Boat, 38-metrowa barka oficerska zdobyta podczas nieudanej francuskiej inwazji w 1796, która ma oryginalną niebiesko-biało-czerwoną kolorystykę Republiki Francuskiej (łódź jest jedynym statkiem, który przetrwał inwazję), Baily Optic, optyka latarni morskiej Baily na półwyspie Howth Head w Howth (północny Dublin), pochodząca z 1902, a zdemontowana w 1972, podczas modernizacji, model statku SS Great Eastern, największego na świecie w dobie wodowania (1857), którego dowódcą był kapitan Halpin urodzony w Tinakeely House (Wicklow), pamiątki z dziejów irlandzkiej marynarki wojennej (modele, zdjęcia, dokumenty i mundury), model statku handlowego MV Kerlogue, który podczas II wojny światowej, 29 grudnia 1943 udał się na ratunek załogom dwóch uszkodzonych okrętów niemieckiej marynarki wojennej w Zatoce Biskajskiej (strefa wojny) i uratował 168 członków załogi (Irlandia była państwem neutralnym i ratowała marynarzy obu stron konfliktu). Biblioteka Instytutu Morskiego zawiera około 4 tys. książek o tematyce morskiej i około 1,6 tys. innych, tematycznie powiązanych, pozycji. Galeria Przypisy

Ram's Island, Northern Ireland

Ram’s Island is the largest island in Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland. It lies near the eastern shore of the lake and is about one mile (1.5 kilometres) long by one-quarter mile (400 metres) wide. Thickly wooded, it is a wildlife haven and includes the ruins of a medieval Irish round tower. History The island's original Irish name was Inis Dar Cairgrenn, which could mean "island of Cairgriu's daughter", and later became Inis Dairgreann. This name was anglicized as "Enish Garden" and also survives in the name of an area on the mainland called "Darachrean". The English name "Ram's Island" could have come from the Irish ending –reann or from the island's "resemblance in form to a ram's horn". In the Middle Ages, an Irish monastery and round tower were built on the island. Irish outlaw Redmond O'Hanlon is said to have taken refuge on the island in 1679. Several of the founders of the United Irishmen, including Wolfe Tone, visited the island in 1795. Ram's Island grew in size from approximately 6 to 25 acres (2.5–10 hectares) after Lough Neagh was lowered in the 19th century. In the early 19th century, the island was bought by the Baron O'Neill, who built two houses there. The island's last permanent inhabitants were the Cardwells, previously caretakers for the O'Neills, in the 1920s. During the Second World War, there was a Royal Air Force flying boat base at nearby Sandy Bay (RAF Sandy Bay). In 2005, the River Bann and Lough Neagh Association signed a thirty-year lease for Ram's Island. It received funding from the Lough Neagh Partnership, which was supported by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs. In 2006 a ferry named The Island Warrior began regular boat trips to the island for tourists. References

Рэмс

Рэмс (англ. Ram’s Island, ирл. Inis Dairgreann) — самый большой остров в озере Лох-Ней, Северная Ирландия, Великобритания. Он расположен недалеко от восточного берега озера и имеет длину около 1600 метров и ширину в 400 метров. На острове расположен густой лес и руины круглой ирландской башни. Название Первоначальное ирландское название острова было Inis Dar Cairgrenn, что могло означать «остров дочери Кэйргренн», а позже название сменилось на Inis Dairgreann. Это название было англизировано как «Эниш Гарден» (Enish Garden). Английское название «Ram’s Island» (дословно: Бараний остров) могло произойти от ирландского окончания reann или от «сходства формы острова с бараньим рогом». История В средневековье на острове были построены монастырь и круглая башня. Говорят, что ирландский преступник Редмонд О’Хэнлон укрылся на острове в 1679 году. Несколько основателей Общества объединённых ирландцев, в том числе Теобальд Волф Тон, посетили остров в 1795 году. Остров вырос в размерах с шести акров до примерно двадцати пяти акров после того, как Лох-Ней понизилось в XIX веке. В начале XIX века остров купил Барон О’Нил. На нём он построил два дома. Последними постоянными жителями острова были Кардуэллы, ранее опекуны О’Нилов в 1920-х годах. В 2005 году Ассоциация рек Банн и Лох-Ней подписала договор об аренде острова Рэмс на тридцать лет. Он получил финансирование от Партнерства Лох-Ней при поддержке Министерства сельского хозяйства, окружающей среды и сельских дел. В 2006 году паром The Island Warrior начал регулярные морские прогулки на остров для туристов. Примечания
National Stadium (Ireland)

The National Stadium (Irish: An Staid Náisiúnta) (often referred to as the National Boxing Stadium or the National Sporting Arena) in Dublin, Ireland, is a purpose-built boxing stadium built and operated by the Irish Athletic Boxing Association. Major General W. R. E. Murphy, Deputy Commissioner of the Garda Síochána (police) proposed building the stadium in early 1935 and started fundraising with his wife Mary Agnes Murphy. Together they raised about 1/3 of the campaign. Built in 1939, the venue hosts over 55 days of boxing and a number of other events each year. Venue The stadium was opened by government minister Frank Aiken in 1939. It is owned by the Irish Amateur Boxing Association (IABA) and has been used by them for over 60 years as the venue for their national and international contests. Music Historically, the stadium was used as a music venue, regularly hosting bands such as The Dubliners, Horslips, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, U2, Van Morrison, The Smiths, and many others. On 26 February 1980, the band U2 performed a concert at the venue which was attended by executives of Island Records; at the end of the show, the label signed the band to their first recording contract. Professional wrestling Beginning in the 21st century, the venue has become a regular venue for professional wrestling events. Wrestling promotions such as Irish Whip Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action and Over the Top Wrestling have held events in the building. Facilities The venue is situated on the South Circular Road between Clanbrassil Street to the east and Dolphin's Barn to the west. The stadium stages amateur and professional boxing and professional wrestling bouts as well as providing facilities for concerts, conferences and corporate hospitality events. Capacity The capacity of the stadium is 2,080 for music events, which is reduced to 1,954 for boxing and wrestling events to accommodate the boxing or wrestling ring. The Ringside club seats up to 400 people for parties or seated dining, but some junior boxing events also take place here. Refurbishment In December 1999, the Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism Jim McDaid, announced a £1.3m grant under the Sports Capital Programme to undertake the refurbishment of the stadium. The two-storey building was provided with a new grey-coloured limestone facade during the refurbishment. References External links Official website

U.S. Naval Air Station Whiddy Island Ireland

U.S. Naval Air Station Whiddy Island was a seaplane station operated during the last year of World War I and commissioned 4 July 1918. Located on Whiddy Island in Bantry Bay, County Cork, Ireland, it was also known as Bantry Bay Station. The base was used for anti-submarine warfare patrols by Curtiss H-16 seaplanes. History At the start of United States of America's involvement in the First World War, five sites in Ireland -Queenstown, Wexford, Lough Foyle, Whiddy Island and Berehaven- were identified to be operated by the United States Navy in support of allied operations against enemy submarines. The Whiddy Island station was located on the eastern side of the island in Bantry Bay. Patrols and convoys for the waters to the southwest of Ireland were furnished by this station. In all, five Curtiss Model H planes were based in Whiddy Island during 1918: BUNO *A1072, A1078, A1084, A3466, A4047, A4048. These were "pusher" type of aircraft with the engine and propeller behind the pilot. The H-16 Large America, were equipped with four Lewis machine guns, a bomb load of four 230 pound bombs and a crew of five - a pilot, two observers, a mechanic and a wireless operator. Two aircrew were killed while stationed at US NAS Whiddy Island. Joseph Leo Hogan (USNRF, AQM2, Mechanicville, NY) was lost at sea on 10 October 1918, while on the RMS Leinster when it was hit by a torpedo from UB-123. Walford A. Anderson (USNRF, AE2, Springfield, MO) was killed in a crash after completing an air patrol for U-boats off the south coast on 22 October 1918. While the base operated under wartime conditions for only seven weeks, patrols continued for some months after the armistice, and it was eventually closed on 29 January 1919.

Navan railway station

Navan railway station is a former train station which served the town of Navan in County Meath, Ireland. History The station served the centre of the town, and was on the branch line between Drogheda and Oldcastle, which was opened by the Dublin and Drogheda Railway in 1850 and became part of the Great Northern Railway in 1876. The station was one of two serving the town, the other being Navan Junction, which served as the main station and was on the junction of the Clonsilla-Kingscourt and Drogheda-Oldcastle branch lines. Navan station was much smaller, with a single bi-directional platform serving the single track. Navan station, along with the branch line, was closed in on 14 April 1958 to passenger services when the Oldcastle line lost its passenger traffic. The station was still open for goods until 7 March 1977, however, the station remains relatively intact, with several freight trains per day still serving the station to and from the Tara Mine. Proposals In 2007 the campaign group Rail Users Ireland called for the restoration of passenger services on the Oldcastle line - as a commuter service between Navan and Dublin. This was because the planned passenger Dublin-Navan railway line from Clonsilla, which is expected to use the Midland Great Western Railway alignment, will not reach Navan until undetermined future time. Rail Users Ireland's proposal was for Navan station to be reopened and two new stations (Navan East and Duleek) to be built, allowing a commuter service of 65 minutes into Dublin. In 2024, the line was again proposed for reopening by the Commuter North Rail Users Group, who suggested it could be renamed the "Boyne Valley Railway" and provide a train service to Navan and tie in to the DART+ scheme, as the direct line to Dublin is not expected to open until at least 2036. In May 2026, Iarnród Éireann published the emerging preferred route for the extension of the Dublin-Navan railway which would see a new Navan Central station constructed about 300m to the west of the existing station, and a new terminus, Navan North, constructed to the north of the town in the Nevinstown area. At the time it was projected that planning applications for these proposals could be lodged in 2028. Rail replacement bus A rail replacement bus was introduced in 1958 and this route continued until 2013 as Bus Éireann route 188 (Navan-Slane-Duleek-Drogheda with a latter extension to Trim). Until the 1980s/early 1990s the bus also served Drogheda railway station and until the 1990s or early 2000s the bus to Drogheda commenced and could be boarded at Navan railway station. Route 109X of Bus Éireann serves Cavan-Navan-Dublin. Routes References
