Partially coloured map of Dublin Port and the Liffey from Eden Quay and O'Connell Street out to sea. 'Dublin Harbour Plan of Shipping Quays, Sheds and Tramways Under the Jurisdiction of the Dublin Port and Docks Board 1951'
Dublin was a port before it was a city. This map shows the quays, sheds and tramways under the jurisdiction of the Dublin Port and Docks Board in 1951. At the time, ships unloaded much further up the Liffey – the port moved downstream with the advent of larger container ships.
