In the name of Dublin

The name of the city comes from the Irish word for Dark Water, dou'vlen, in referendum to the river that runs through the city and its banks of Pete. Here are some pictures and notes about the city.

In 1916 there was a rebellion in which 1500 people took over post office, and the irish reformation of literature occurred. Then, in 1974, the national theatre burned down and was rebuilt. St. Patrick's church was built it in 1191, and the Christ Church was built much earlier in 1038 by Vikings who were ready to integrate with Ireland's Catholicism.

This area never really recovered from the rebellion, though it is getting there since transportation improved. streets in this area are lined with churches and Old buildings. Eastern Dublin is as well full of Victorian architecture, both big and small. It is also the home of the first maternity hospital.

Near the immigration museum lies the statue memorial to Huhullen , the Hound of auster, whom often went into battle naked and in war paint. celtics were the last tribe in Europe. in the 4th century, they traded women as slaves for cows, with cows being the currency. Alot of buildings around this area were destroyed by the Independence and Civil wars, and the ship that traveled up the Helga river and shelled the city.

There are also model replicas of coffin ships sitting in the bay, with one known as the Jenny Johnston. The people sat for 6 weeks in close proximity which lead to lots of disease spreading. This is where the namesake comes from.

As we crossed the Rosie Hackett bridge and viewed the harp bridge, we learned about her scholarship. The Rosie Hackett scholarship is awarded to a nursing student who finishes second in the class. This was because rosie acknowledged that very few people ever remember the second place victor. Rosie was a 15 year old girl who ran post during the time of war. She later unioned with a woman and became a midwife. 

Trinity college was built in 1512 and is a testament to history. King Henry came here to dissolve the church into several churches and form the Church of England. The book of Kells is housed here and exists within the walls of this still-intact and functioning church paved with cobblestobe walkways.

The national gallery was built by William Dargon, the man who also built the first European railroad. The Queen visited there a lot. She also asked all of Ireland to paint their doors black when her lover died, and being nice and polite people, they did exactly the opposite.
