Tallship sinks off Oysterhaven near Kinsale, 10 years ago today. Youth sail training vessel, all saved.

Diesel tank accidentally filled with water, engine stalled, too close to shore to sail out of danger.

Hello, everyone! Back here after a prolonged absence, was off watching the bird site burn down in real-time.

Have finally deleted my account there, and will be conjecturing, plugging things and posting photos here, and over at:

- Insta (main personal for now): https://www.instagram.com/mike_mcgb/

- Bluesky (under construction): https://bsky.app/profile/mikemcgb.bsky.social

Lough Hyne was probably a freshwater lake until about four millennia ago (2000 BC, during the Atlantic Bronze Age), when rising sea levels flooded it with saline ocean water

Cork docks 1969, one of my first photos.
Diana plastic camera & 120 roll film. The camera cost 10 Schillings, bought in Lehanes grocer shop (now Centra) Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown.

Purchased the film from the chemist shop (now Spice Town?) in Uam Var Ave and the kind man, in a white coat, showed me how to put the film in.

Cork city, Ardmahon estate.

The estate was built aligned with the stone, so it didn't need to be removed.

One of the children raised in the house went on to become an archaeologist!

Cork's first quartz clock in the late 1960s which was on display at 42 Grand Parade, then 38 Oliver Plunkett street.

Still accurate to +/- 1 second per month, over 50 years since it left the German Junghans factory.

A 12.8kHz quartz crystal is housed in a vacuum tube.

Only 5000 Astrochron were made. Designed to run on a 1.5 volt D cell zinc–carbon battery giving a years operation.

Cork City '80s tidal flooding Oliver Plunket St. Cyclist & 'The Brass Boot'

The OPW plan to top the historic Georgian quay walls with concrete to prevent tidal flooding. Geologists & Engineers I've listened to think it won't work in the city's marshy foundation. Alternative: tidal barrier
