The
Carraghgour II
The “CURRAGHOUR
II” has the distinction of being the last ship built from
start to finish in the Liffey Dockyard, Dublin. She was built
in 1962 for The Limerick Harbour Commissioners as a Single Screw
Grab and Suction Hopper Dredger – Ship No. 179 -. She is
still in service (but only just) in the Shannon Estuary. On the
wall behind the Buoy Light you will see the shipyard drawing of
the deck layout and general configuration of the “CURRAGHOUR
II”. On the shelf adjacent to the drawing is a scale model
on which each detail on the drawing is faithfully reproduced. |
