London Architecture seen from a River Thames Cruise (HD)

Posted by admin on November 21st, 2011 and filed under river crruises | 5 Comments »

here is no better way to see many of the landmarks of London than from the River Thames. And there’s no better time to do this than in the evening as twilight descends over the city, and it lights into life.

In this episode, travel with us on a river cruise and watch the night descend over some fascinating architecture from the Houses of Parliament and Millennium Wheel to Battersea Power Station and the MI5 Intelligence HQ building.

Technical note: In order to maximize your viewing enjoyment (and to prevent ‘motion-sickness’) a great deal of image stabilization has been applied, both during recording and in post-production. The result is an amazingly smooth watching experience but you may find that the high definition pictures may a little ’soft’ on detail in places.

Sightseeing cruise on the river Liffey (Dublin)

Posted by admin on October 28th, 2011 and filed under river crruises | 7 Comments »

A journey by boat through the heart of Dublin…
The river was previously named An Ruirthech, meaning “fast (or strong) runner”.The word Liphe (or Life) referred originally to the name of the plain through which the river ran, but eventually came to refer to the river itself. It was also known as the Anna Liffey, possibly from an Anglicization of Abhainn na Life, the Irish phrase that translates into English as River Liffey.
The Liffey rises between Kippure and Tonduff in the Wicklow mountains, and flows for around 125 km (78 mi) through counties Wicklow, Kildare and Dublin before entering the Irish Sea at the mouth of Dublin Bay on a line extending from the Baily lighthouse to the Muglin Rocks.

There are three ESB hydroelectric power stations along the river, at Poulaphouca, Golden Falls and Leixlip, as well as a number of minor private installations.

Towns along the river include Ballymore Eustace, Athgarvan, Newbridge, Caragh, Clane, Celbridge, Leixlip and Lucan before the river reaches the city of Dublin at its mouth.
The River Liffey in Dublin city has been used for many centuries for trade, from the Viking beginnings of the city up to recent times.

A well-known sight on the Liffey up to the 1990s, the Lady Patricia[5] and Miranda Guinness[5] cargo ships were used to export Guinness from the St. James’s Gate Brewery.

In recent years, the only regular traffic on the river within the city is the Liffey Voyage water tour bus service, which runs guided tours along the River Liffey through Dublin City centre. Departing from the boardwalk downstream of the Ha’penny Bridge, the Spirit of the Docklands runs under O’Connell Bridge, Butt Bridge and the Talbot Memorial Bridge on a journey downstream, passing the Custom House before turning at the Grand Canal Basin and back up stream. Built by Westers Mekaniska in Sweden, this 50 passenger water taxi, has variable ballast tanks (not unlike a submarine) and an exceptionally low air draught which means that at low tide it can float high, but at high tide it can ride low and still pass smoothly below the Liffey Bridges.
“Sarah’s Bridge on the River Anna Liffey” (1831) Sarah’s Bridge is today called Island Bridge. The then-new Wellington Monument is seen on the left of the picture.

Upstream from the city, at Chapelizod, the river is used by both university and Garda rowing clubs. The Liffey Descent canoeing event, held each year since 1960, covers a 27 km (17 mi) course from Straffan to Islandbridge.

Downstream of the East-Link bridge, the river is still mainly used for commercial and ferry traffic, with some recreational use also. High speed trips out the mouth of the Liffey are also available from Sea Safari.
Dividing the Northside of Dublin from the Southside, the Liffey is spanned by numerous bridges mostly open to vehicular traffic. Notable are the West-Link Bridge on the M50 motorway, the Sean Heuston Bridge, the O’Connell Bridge, and the Millennium and Ha’penny foot bridges.

Crossings further upriver include the Liffey Bridge at Celbridge, “The Bridge at 16″ (a 19th century pedestrian suspension bridge at the K Club), and the Leinster Aqueduct – which carries the Grand Canal over the Liffey at Caragh.

The earliest stone bridge over the Liffey of which there is solid evidence was the Bridge of Dublin (on the site of the current Fr. Mathew Bridge), built by the Dominicans in 1428, which survived well into the 18th century. This bridge with four arches included various buildings such as a chapel, bakehouse and possibly an inn[7] and replaced an earlier wooden bridge (Dubhghalls Bridge) on the same site. Island Bridge (a predecessor of the current bridge) was added in 1577. With the development of commercial Dublin in the 17th century, four new bridges were added between 1670 and 1684: Barrack, or Bloody Bridge, (the forerunner of the current Rory O’More Bridge), Essex Bridge (Grattan Bridge), Ormond Bridge (O’Donovan Rossa Bridge) and Arran Bridge. The oldest bridge still standing is the Mellows Bridge, (originally Queens Bridge) constructed in 1764 on the site of the Arran Bridge, which was destroyed by floods in 1763. The first iron bridge was the elegant Ha’penny Bridge built in 1816.
The song about Seamus Rafferty refers to the “bowsies on the quay” – However, recent years have seen much development on the quays, with the addition of linear parks and overhanging boardwalks which give the river banks renewed life.
