COMMERCE OF DUBLIN

Thp(Prom Thom's Official Directory for 1845.)
bap commerce of the port of Dublin had increased so
corn ca towards the close of the last century, that the ac-
h;rnodation afforded in the river for shipping was found
fopBll,ffiejent, and parliament consequently, granted £45,000
reenlrc°,,ing docks on both sides of it. The docks coin-
eberle.ing with the Grand Canal on the south side were
torn-ho m 1796, and St. George's, the latest of the Cus-
ae,,,use docks, in 1821. These latter are capable of
re-4;trodating 40,000 tons of shipping, and areksuor-f
ed
ands stores capable of containing B,ooott c s
hascellar-
a.rr_ obacco, and 20,000 chests of tea,
a-U., ter 12,000 pipes of wine. The docks onw the south
tee' afford commodious wharfage for 100 sale of merchr!nt-
rii: and colliers, exclusive of that supplied by the river
t -,Y1,8* Although these, and the graving docks attached
brijitem, are at present scarcely used, ye!, such were
fthe
b„, .ant commercial prospects at the period of their or-
th4;leo, that it was at one time in contemplation to reduce
Sir ?hole of the low grounds south of Ringsend, from
20040hn Rogerson's quay to Merrion-square, an area. of
deces, into a series of docks, wharfs, and ship-build-
tog-Yards—a plan which an inundation of the river, in
osti,„,eaoence of a breach in the quay in 1792, that spread
nr,",„.. this tract, and allowed sailing craft to navigate it,
th;'ed to be of easy accomplishment. The formation of
ava-,asYlnen harbour at Kingstown, then Dunleary, which
itio-"onneaced in 1817, gave additional effect to the com-
te sceof the port, by the increased protection it afforded
the bie lling. The improvements made on the bar and in
L,,u of the Liffy by the ballast by rendering the chan-
te,, Peiently deep for the navigation of vessels of 1,400
,K:as also contributed greatly to the same effect.
