South Wall life line
Just a little composition that caught my eye on Dublin's South wall. I read a while back that the Captain of the HMS Bounty, Capt. William Bligh, had devised the opposing wall on the North side. We have him to thank for Bull Island, one of Dublin's nature reserves and bird sanctuaries. There is a great history that surrounds Capt. William Bligh, most will know him as the formidable Captain whose crew declared mutiny on the bounty and set the Captain and officers in a life raft while they set sail for Pitcairn Island. The descendants of the crew are still there today and subject to British rule supposedly although recent events have bought into question how far British rule really extends. Bligh's excellent navigational skills allowed him to navigate to the safety of Timor, some 3618 miles, using only a sextant and oars.
