Dublin Port Company has open to the public a ‘Shipping and Seafaring’ exhibition, which dives into the rich and fascinating history of the capital port’s maritime landscape.
The exhibition held in the Substation explores the evolution of Dublin Port, which has been a vital gateway to the world and has shaped the capital’s connection to global trade and travel.
To celebrate the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s ‘Day of the Seafarer’ 2024, DPC launched the exhibition on the same day (25 June) and invited visitors of the Seafarers Centre.
The exhibition continues into next week, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (1–3 July) between 12pm and 4pm.
Admission is free to the venue, which, as Afloat reported, is Dublin Port’s renovated 18th-century substation that was opened to the public last year.
Tours can be arranged for groups of at least 15 people, and requests must be sent by email to: [email protected]
The Substation is located beside the DPC headquarters on Alexandra Road, Dublin 1, and is nearby to the Luas (Red Line) terminus at The Point.
