About this product
Product Information
The Shannon Navigation traces the history of the River Shannon as a navigation up to the present day from the 1750s when the early works were commenced under the Commissioners of Inland Navigation and subsequently under the Directors General of Inland Navigation from 1800 to 1831. These works, which took many years to complete, were not very successful and were badly maintained. In the 1830s the arrival of steamers focussed attention on the poor state of the navigation, which coincided with the efforts of the Government to initiate public works to relieve distress by providing employment.During the 1840s a major scheme was carried out creating the fine navigation, which is enjoyed today. The book also deals with the fact that the works were designed to address the combined issues of navigation and drainage but only partially improved the extensive problems of flooding. The age of the steamers was cut short by the coming of the railways and a second attempt to provide passenger boats in the early 1900s was unsuccessful.The subsequent history of the navigation is traced including the harnessing of the river as a hydro-electric scheme, which had a substantial impact on the navigation. The gradual decline in the use of the river for commercial trade saw it entering a very low ebb until recent years, which have seen the growth in the use of the river for tourism and recreation, with the great works of the 1840-50's utilised to their full potential for the first time.The book is illustrated by over two hundred and fifty photographs, engravings, posters, maps and drawings and contains useful appendices with details of the Acts and parliamentary papers, the works, tonnage carried and information about the steamers and other boats.

- h***i (37)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller kindly got in touch to say the book I ordered did not meet the quality advertised due to being found to be in a poor condition at the packing stage. Unfortuntely no replacement was available and would I like to pick a book of equivalent value from the marketplace - which I did. That book arrived safely and was in the condition advertised. I have used this seller many times before and I am grateful for their quality control decission, rather than send me a damaged book. Will use again.
