Summary

A lovely Lawrence image of the Quays (pronounced in those parts as the "kays") in Sligo town. Taken around the time of the transition from sail to steam, we have a nice mix of sailing vessels and steamers. Even the steamships have the alternative - with masts for sails as back up to the engines. The town looks all a bustle but how much has that skyline changed in the meantime?..Apart from the spires of the cathedral and town hall ( https://www.google.ie/maps/@54.2755597,-8.4777112,3a,41.6y,180.71h,89.95t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sA_8ZqxfDt-nGklQ3e7WcaQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en ) , the waterfront has changed quite a bit since this image was taken. Which, based on the two vessels visible (the screw steamer Heathmore ( http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?a1PageSize=50&ship_listPage=11&a1Order=Sorter_name&a1Dir=DESC&a1Page=441&ref=50395&vessel=HEATHMORE ) , and the brig Argestes ( https://books.google.ie/books?id=jHoqAQAAIAAJ&dq=brig++argestes&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=argestes ) ), was likely in the 1890s. And certainly before 1897, when the Heathmore was sunk.......Photographer: Robert French..Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000313414 ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1865-1914. Possibly c.1890s (ships)..NLI Ref: L_CAB_05616 ( vtls000334331 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )

Set of images depicting various harbors, ports, and piers together with ships, fishing and sailing boats, and all types of haven-like places and views. All large image sets on Picryl.com are made in two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize the feature, and after that, we ran all 25M+ images in our database through an image recognition machine. As usual, all media in the collection belong to the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
