Laoghaire Trip Out I.o. A Portion of the Mersey Dock Estate at Liverpool - 1920s Notes by John H. Luxton Click on Image to enlarge to 1024x720 resolution for a close look at this image. The post card appears to date from 1924-25. This is when the British Empire Exhibition was held at Wembley.
Close examination reveals much interesting detail.
In the foreground is the Sandon River Entrance which gave access to the Sandon Half Tide Basin, to the extreme right is the Sandon Dock site now occupied by the North West Water Sewage Treatment works. Half Tide is a twin funnel liner - possibly Cunard. Clearly visible is the Canada Dock, tidal basin entrance which proved notoriously difficult to use due to prevailing tides and winds. This was only replaced after WWII with the construction of the present Langton River Entrance. The construction of which profoundly changed the layout of the river wall at this location.
