More about this scene

The breakwaters are now in plain view. The rock for these was blasted out of the cliff, 800 tons being required for each linear foot! The scheme for this was initiated in 1846 but was delayed due to the Irish famine. It was restarted in 1846 and finally completed in 1906. Note the railway on the right.
