Port Lairge wreck 
 Blue hour photo taken just after the sun went down Saturday 12 August 2017 at Saltmills, Co Wexford. Affectionately known around the Waterford area as "The Mud Boat", it's really sad to see the current state of the once proud Port Lairge, a dredger which served Waterford Port for over 100 years and was the last steam powered vessel of it's type operating in either Ireland or Britain. I believe it was fully operational and still a machine of true beauty when it was taken to it's current position in spite of it's less than glamorous working life. Brendan Hartley.
