description
This habour was built in the 1820's, with money that was raised by charitable donations from the guilds in London, for famine relief in Ireland in the 1820's, after a year long hunger, that followed a bad harvest in 1822. It was built for the "poor fishermen of Galway". It is only possible to navigate here at high tide, and no masted vessel can get under the railway bridge at this time. At high tide you might get here in a dinghy or kayak. Dunno how this barge got here, but its been here for 5-6 years now.
