Con el Tour The Northside aprenderá aspectos de la historia de Dublín y sus leyendas más escalofriantes. Entre estas destacan: La historia de Lord Norbury, conocido por ser el infame y sádico “Juez Colgante” que presidió el juicio de Robert Emmet, un patriota irlandés que lucho por la emancipación de Irlanda. Lord Norbury fue odiado por el pueblo irlandés en vida y en la muerte regresó para continuar un reinado de terror. La leyenda de Scaldbrother, el infame ladrón medieval cuyo tesoro enterrado aún puede yacer en un laberinto de túneles debajo de Smithfield. La fábula sobre el mendigo apuesto y deforme Billy Davis, o “Billy the Bowl”, aterrorizó las calles del suburbio Grangegorman en el siglo XVIII. Para los más valientes el tour les guía por Hendrick Street, donde en el pasado habían dos de las casas más embrujadas de Dublín. Entre estas dos casas Hendrick Street era hogar de más de seis fantasmas diferentes. En la década de 1960 estas casas fueron derribadas, pero ¿y los fantasmas? ¿Y qué hay del hospital embrujado? Los fantasmas de las enfermeras han sido vistos durante años por toda la manzana ¿Podrían ser la razón por la que las sillas de las oficinas del edificio adyacente giran por sí mismas? ¿O por lo que los juguetes electrónicos se encienden y apagan solos? Además, el tour se aventura en el parque Croppies Acre. Este lugar fue abandonado durante muchos años, y en el siglo XX fue utilizado como campo de fútbol. La parte sorprendente de este lugar es que durante la rebelión de 1798 el parque se utilizó como fosa común para los cientos de rebeldes ejecutados. ¡Los espíritus que viven en esta zona muchas veces intentar comunicarse! La atracción considerada como la más macabra de Irlanda es la Iglesia de Saint Michan, que sirvió de inspiración para el joven Bram Stoker, nativo de Clontraf y autor de Drácula. Otra parada del tour es la pared donde, en el siglo XX, hubo una aparición de la Virgen María. Miles de transeúntes afirman haber visto dicha imagen ¿Puedes?   Testimonios: “Fue uno de los mejores tours de fantasmas en los que he estado. Todo el grupo sintió que la temperatura bajada cuando salíamos de la Abadía de Saint Mary. Fue realmente extraño.” Alison, San Francisco, California “Me gustó que se tomaran el tema en serio. Los lugares del tour están realmente embrujados, y las personas sensibles del tour definitivamente parecían estar experimentando algo. Hendrick Street fue interesante.” Paul, Dallas, Texas “Lo que me gustó del Tour The Northside es cuán comunes son los lugares: tiendas, museos y parques que la gente usa todos los días sin darse cuenta de lo que sucedió allí. Nunca he sido realmente creyente, pero juro que vi a alguien caminando por el Croppies Acre, y en mis fotografías salen algunas cosas realmente raras.” Sarah, Edimburgo, Escocia “¡Muchas gracias! ¡Vivo en Hendrick Street, y después de su tour, creo que tendré que mudarme!” Ciaran, Dublín

Shearwater is a classic Newport-style schooner yacht, only recently recognized as a national landmark in 2009. The vessel was built by Rice Brother Corporation in East Boothbay, Maine, back in a time when yachting was a rare combination of elegance and adventure; Rice Bros. were well known for building luxury pleasure yachts and produced some 4,000 hulls over a period of 64 years. The keel was laid down on January 4, 1929 and a news clip from the Boothbay Register reflects alongside a photograph "Tyler Hodgon at the old Tide Mill is getting out timbers for the schooner to be built at Rice’s. Vessel to be built of native white oak." Traditionally built from hand-hewn native white oak, she was the last boat to be constructed at that yard - likely due to the ensuing Great Depression brought on by the Stock Market Crash that occurred later that autumn. East Boothbay was a small coastal town with shipbuilding being its only industry. About 40 workmen were employed for the construction of SHEARWATER. Her designer Theodore Donald Wells was born in Hudson Falls, N Y on October 22, 1875. He was a naval architect and marine engineer, a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and also the Institute of Naval Architects London. His education included post-graduate work at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. He began his career as a member of the firm Herreshoff and Wells, N. Y. City in 1902. Working with Herreshoff no doubt had an influence on his designs, which bear similarities to many of the famous Herreshoff designed yachts of that time. From 1903 to 1907 he worked for Wintringham and Wells and then began practicing his profession under his own name. Mr. Wells joined the Navy Department in March 1917 and became Superintending Constructor of the Baltimore District U. S. N. Notable yachts designed and constructed under his supervision are "Viking" a 272 foot steel motor yacht built for George F. Baker in 1929 by Newport News and "Karina" a three masted schooner built for Robert E. Tod in 1932 by Staten Island Shipbuilding. Mr. Tod was a well-known offshore yachtsman as was his former yacht ‘Thistle", which competed in the Emperors Cup ocean race. SHEARWATER was launched on May 4, 1929 and photographs in the Boothbay Register reflect her graceful and elegant lines. Her first Captain, Leon Esterbrook of Edgarton, MA, arrived to take charge of the fitting out. Her owner Charles E Dunlap was a member of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, Oyster Bay, NY and this became SHEARWATER’s first homeport after her completion in late September 1929. It was there in Oyster Bay that she first started to thrill those who sailed in luxury aboard her and those who were privileged to crew her on race day. Since her launching and documentation in Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts in 1929, she has had a colorful history and has been carefully maintained and restored to standards that few contemporary vessels are able to match and is truly a piece of American Maritime History. On November 7, 1942 SHEARWATER was requisitioned by the War Shipping Administration and became a member of The United States Coast Guard’s Coastal Picket Patrol during World War Two. She was painted gray and bore the numbers CG67004. Based at Little Creek, Virginia she patrolled the waters east of the Chesapeake Bay entrance and south towards Cape Hatteras. Her skipper during that period reflected on how they used their free time while out on submarine patrol to race against other yachts and in his own words "sailed in tandem with the schooner Lord Jim, racing in and out of port, up and down the east coast and winning." She was designed and built as a gaff rigged schooner but during this period was changed to a Marconi rig. She carries over 2,550 square feet while under full sail. A true veteran world cruiser, she first transited the Panama Canal in July 1946 and in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s completed a two and a half-year global circumnavigation. In December 1971 Mrs. John B. Thayer of Rosemont, wife of a former trustee and treasurer, donated SHEARWATER to the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute of Environmental Medicine. She was used by the university as a laboratory for research on physiological responses to the stresses of living and working underwater. Captained by James Shearson, she was fitted with compressors, generators, monitoring instruments and a small decompression chamber. She has participated in many Ancient Mariner and Classic yacht races in U S waters as well as racing in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand while on her circumnavigation in the early 1980’s. It is rumored she was once dismasted in the famous Newport to Bermuda race. She was last raced by the current owners in San Diego in May 1995 in the American Schooner Cup and finished second overall. She entered the yacht charter industry in 1966 whilst on the West Coast sailing to the Channel Islands and was again used to generate income to keep her shipshape while owned by the University of Pennsylvania. During the chartering industry’s infancy in the Caribbean, SHEARWATER was known as the " Queen of the Fleet". Today she continues this tradition offering the most unique sailing experience and has passed rigid Coast Guard inspections and can carry up to 49 passengers. We welcome you to join us for an excellent opportunity to experience the ambiance of a vintage sailing vessel while delighting in the splendors of The Manhattan sky-line, the Statue of Liberty or the beauty of the oceans beyond.
