Summary

A Siemens-Bauunion Steam Shovel is eased through the streets of Limerick (from the Docks) on its way to work on the construction of the Shannon Hydro-Electric Scheme at Ardnacrusha...The rather unwieldy looking beast is here pictured outside Hurley's Tobacconists at 8 Sarsfield Street with a crowd of interested bystanders, whose clothes range from smart business attire to the boy who is barefoot at top right.....Date: 1928..NLI Ref.: INDH736 ( vtls000249561 )

Images from our photo collections that show those magnificent men (and women) in their flying, choo choo-ing, and driving machines... Oh, and we've cheated, we're adding boats and ships, jaunting cars and carriages, trams too and bicycles - we're completely shameless. So, basically any form of transport - air, sea, land - with the exception of two human feet...
