Summary

Barges and boats jockeying for position at the lock at the weir on the Shannon at Athlone, Co. Westmeath...Here's an interesting post on the Irish Waterways History site about this lock and its mechanics ( http://irishwaterwayshistory.com/about/irish-waterways-furniture/shannon-south/a-river-shannon-lock-athlone/ ) .....Date: Circa 1895..NLI Ref.: L_ROY_05254 ( L_ROY_05254 )

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...
