Disappearing Dublin – Maritime House

Maritime House Statue I took this photo last June on the North Wall Quay. It’s a statue outside Maritime House and I never took the time to read the inscription because I had the attitude of ‘it’ll always be there and I’ll read it the next time‘.

Well, I was down there this week and it’s gone! Maritime House is still there (could be gone by now?) but the statue’s gone. I hope they’re keeping it somewhere safe and it’ll make a reappearance on the quay in the near future… How sad.

Ironically, I’ve some friends going to see Mamma Mia in the Point tonight. Must ask them tomorrow if they noticed?

And, co-incidence indeed, I’m listening to The Waterboys right now and they’re playing in the Point on March 18. Spooky!

And the Waterboy’s song is The whole of the moon. And we’ve just had a lunar eclipse a few days ago.

Oh deary me, I really should go and lie down in a dark room for a little while.

    Too many coincidences for my liking. Next thing we’ll hear is Maggie T has passed away (again).

    @grumpy
    Thank you (through gritted teeth) for reminding me of my faux pas.

    @fjl
    Lying down is good :-) . I’ve just two hours in a traffic jam (gritted teeth again). Happy birthday, btw. You’re another year older (sorry) but another year wiser than your adversaries. Good luck!
