Dockers Photographic Exhibition at Dublin Port Company HQ
This group pic was taken in the late 1940s or 1950s. Anyone would info should contact Society through Alan Melon link or Dublin Dockers Facebook page
It started a year ago with 400 pictures but the Dublin Dockers Preservation Society has now assembled 1,600 and the collection continues to grow. A selection of these was unveiled at the Dublin Port Company last night (Friday, March 23rd). We would have posted earlier but the local response from East Wall and Ringsend was so strong it would have been impossible to squeeze any more people into the building.
However Eamon O’Reilly, the Dublin Port CEO, has agreed to give access to the Exhibition to the general public from Monday, March 26th until Friday March 30th, 9am to 4pm. It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of this collection. Declan Byrne, who initiated the project and Alan Martin, who collated the collection have made a major contribution to saving an important part of Dublin’s legacy.
The Society’s next objective is to create a Dockers’ Museum.
For those unable to get to the exhibition all of the pics can be viewed on
