Galway
harbor is a successful cross between an industrial harbor, a small
fishing port and a marina. Turning right you'll see a large tanker
docked to fill the storage tanks on the left.
The
harbor has undergone (and is still undergoing) extensive restoration
and rezoning, transforming it from an area of formerly derelict
warehouses into one of the smartest places for apartments in Galway.
The
Navy plays an integral part for any Island nation in protecting
its borders. Seen here is the Lord Mayor of Galway Martin Quinn
inspecting the French Naval vessel Malabar (A664). The Irish Navy
cooperates with its European partners in the many roles in peacetime,
such as the protection of Fisheries.
Galway
Harbor can be your ferryport if you plan to travel to the Aran Islands
by boat. The Aran Islands are a rugged outcrop of three Islands
on the Atlantic West Coast. They were popularized in the 1952 John
Ford movie 'The
Quiet Man', starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.
