Irish pubs feature prominently in James Joyce's "Ulysses", and it is true that wherever the Irish have gone in the world they have set up places of conviviality. The Irish impact on the colony of Van Diemen's Land came initially with the arrival of the convicts. Many of the Irish convicts were in fact political prisoners, and almost all of them were Catholics.
This Irish pub, which is now known as "The Irish" with the slogan "Drinking Consultants", was founded in 1835 as "The Hibernian" by freed convict Josiah Pitcher. Of course the current building, with its Art Deco influences, dates from around 100 years after that.

NAHLIN seen at Sandon Dock Liverpool after whilst up for sale following her repatriation from Romania.
At the time the yacht brokers were very unhappy about photographs being taken of the vessel and myself and other enthusiasts were chased away despite holding Photographic Passes issued by the dock company.
Fortunately on August 08, 2003 members of the Merseyside Branch of the World Ship Society were taken on a cruise around Liverpool Docks on board the pollution control vessel POLGARTH from which this photograph was taken and with water between us and the resident security!

NAHLIN is one of the last three large steam yachts to be constructed in the UK. Built for Lady Yule [Annie Henrietta] a jute millionairess and widow the NAHLIN carried a crew of 58. Her first appearance was at Cowes Week, August 1930. She had been designed by G.L. Watson & Company and built by John Brown & Company of Glasgow.
The vessel was originally furnished with six en-suite staterooms for guests, ladies sitting room with sea views on three sides and a library.
In 1936 NAHLIN was chartered by the "Duke of Lancaster" who was King Edward VIII and used by him in the company of Mrs. Wallace Simpson during their love affair.
NAHLIN was purchased by the Romanian government in 1937 for the sum of £120,000. The yacht was renamed LUCEAFARUL [The Evening Star] by King Carol who also had the vessel’s gymnasium replaced by a stateroom.
Following King Carol's abdication, she remained the property of the Romanian Government and survived the years of Communist rule serving as a passenger ship and latterly as a restaurant on the River Danube. The ship was renamed LIBERTATEA [Freedom] in 1948.
In the latter part of 1999, the yacht was shipped to the UK aboard the Dockwise Heavy Lift Ship SWIFT.
When LIBERTATEA arrived in the UK she was laid up at DML's Devonport Dockyard and remained there until the end of April 2000. She was brought to Liverpool and arrived on May 3, 2003, being berthed at the then Cammell Laird owned Clarence Dry Docks adjacent to Stanley Dock where she was expected to undergo the initial phase of what was expected to be a $35million dollar restoration.
In October 2000 G.L. Watson & Company the yacht's original designers were appointed as special consultants to the restoration being supervised by Yachtworks Ltd.
LIBERTATEA was removed from the Clarence Dry Docks around July 23, 2001, to a berth in Sandon Dock. Since her arrival G.L. Watson's sister company, Yachtworks, have removed over 450 tones of asbestos insulation, heavy fuel oil and debris and the interior surveyed. The ship was given her original name NAHLIN and port of registry – Glasgow whilst at Liverpool.
On July 27, 2005 NAHLIN was loaded aboard the heavy lift ship CONDOCK V at Liverpool and taken to Rendsburg it was reported she had be bought by German interests.
It later transpired the purchaser was businessman Anthony Bamford of JCB digger fame. Her refit was continued in Germany.
As refitted, she has berths for 14 passengers and up to 47 crew. She was then taken to Hamburg, where Blohm+Voss replaced her steam turbines with a new diesel-electric powertrain. MTU Friedrichshafen supplied a pair of 16-cylinder diesel engines, each of which is rated at 2,502 bhp (1,866 kW). They drive a pair of electric generators, which in turn drive a pair of electric motors, one powering each propeller. Each electric motor is rated at 2,000 kW (2,700 hp).
During restoration, the ship’s original mahogany-hulled 6.4 m (21 ft) ship-to-shore tender, believed lost for 60 years, was found in Scotland, having been fully restored by owner Willie McCullough. It has now been reunited with the yacht.
In 2006 Inventor and entrepreneur Sir James and Lady Dyson acquired the yacht from Anthony Bamford.
In 2010 NAHLIN returned to service.
Noted by U.S. Senator Bill Nelson as “a jewel for downtown Fort Pierce and the Treasure Coast”, the four-story Federal Courthouse features a full-height atrium with exposed gable steel roof trusses and an expansive exterior glass wall. Column-free areas and a 21- foot floor-to-floor height at the third-floor level allow for the addition of future courtrooms to complement the two provided on the fourth floor.
The building structure consists of cast-in-place concrete slabs and joists framing to cast-in-place concrete frames supported on a mat foundation. The architectural standing seam roofing across the main roof level is supported by sloped steel structural elements bearing on the flat concrete roof structure. The roofing at the two fourth-floor courtrooms is framed and supported by pitched steel bar joists with a steel roof deck, providing high ceilings for the courtrooms.
The exterior walls, designed for blast and wind load requirements, are comprised of reinforced concrete masonry units with a stucco finish.
As required by the GSA, the project conforms to the ISC Security Design Criteria as well as their Progressive Collapse requirements.

Several years ago local activists with two UNICEF consultant and embassy staff created an acrobatic school. The school recruits from street children and now has 125 children of various ages. As well as the acrobatic arts the school also teaches the children to read and write and craft skills that support the performances.
The school has been extraordinarily successful and has worked with Circus Universalis and Cirque de Soleil. International talent from these circuses and more such as Archaos have come to teach.
I was stunned by the quality of the children’s performance, it is simply the best small project that I have yet seen supported by UNICEF. It was impossible to capture the power of the performance in pictures; but I will be back to have another go but the best is to see the performance. The school does full rehearsals every Saturday. Poignantly the school is in the grounds of the ‘Stadium of the 28th September’ scene of last years massacres. The school makes tours of the interior of the country with shows that raise awareness on social and societal issues.
If you cannot make it to Conakry the school regularly does tours of the USA and France. I met with kids who had just returned from touring the US they were teaching the next generation. An unimaginable accomplishment for children who had until a few years ago had been sleeping rough in the port of Conakry. The next tour will be in April in France where they will be at the festival of Angouleme in April.
The next step is to create a sister school; a percussion academy in the same site.
Il y a quelques années des activistes locaux, deux consultants UNICEF et du personnel des ambassades se sont reunis pour crée une ecole pour former des acrobates, recrutant parmis les enfants des rues et d’autres enfants vulnerables. Au jourdhui l’ecole encadre 125 enfants. En plus des arts acrobatiques les enfants apprenent a lire et ecrire et des metiers creatifs.
L’ecole a une reussite extraordinaire ; elle a des conventions avec des cirques mondialement connus tels que Universalis et le Cirque du Soleil. Des formateurs internationaux viennent faire des stages a Conakry avec les enfants.
Je fus epoustouflé par la qualité des performances des enfants, c’est le meilleur petit projet soutenu par UNICEF que je n’ai jamais vu. C’est impossible a travers un appareil photo de transmettre la puissance des performances ; je vais retourner pour ressayer mais le mieux c’est d’y aller voir. Ils répètent chaque samedi matin, dans le Stade du 28 septembre, site de la tragédie de 2009. L'école fait des tournées a l'intérieur du pays avec des spectacles qui soulèvent des questions sociales.
Si vous ne pouvaient pas vous rendre a Conakry ils font des tournées régulièrement aux Etats Unis et en France. J’ai rencontré des enfants qui revenaient des Etats Unis et qui enseignaient leurs petits camarades ; un acquit inimaginable pour des enfants dont parmi quelques-unes il y a peu d’années vivaient sans abris au port de Boulbinet. Le prochain spectacle sera en avril au festival d'Angoulême.
La prochaine étape et de créer une école soeur ; une académie de percussion probablement dans le même site.

218 bhp, 1,987 cc DOHC V-6 engine, five-speed manual gearbox, independent double-wishbone, front and rear suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 2,280 mm (89.8")
• One of only 18 examples produced
• Ex-Maranello Concessionaires racing team
• Ferrari Classiche certified
• Raced by Richard Attwood and David Piper
• Fully documented racing provenance
• Just four owners from new; same ownership since 1970
• Stunning Pierre Drogo-designed body work
In February 1966, Ferrari débuted a new sports-racing car formulated for the FIA’s 2-litre Group 4 class, with hopes of winning over the numerous privateer teams that campaigned in Porsches. Dubbed the Dino 206 S, the car was powered by the development of the 65 degree V-6 engine that had been conceived by Dino Ferrari, prior to his death in June 1956.
Originally co-engineered by legendary Alfa Romeo designer Vittorio Jano, then working as a consultant for Ferrari, the Dino V-6 motor was badged with a hand scripted autograph based on the younger Ferrari’s signature. Though it was introduced as a Formula 2 powerplant, an enlarged version of the engine was subsequently used in the Formula 1 cars, carrying works driver Mike Hawthorn to a Driver’s World Championship in 1958. Whilst Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars of the early-1960s increasingly adopted 120 degree V-6 engines designed by Technical Director Carlo Chiti, the Jano-engineered 65 degree Dino engine was, nonetheless, consistently enlarged and developed in various experimental sports prototypes, including the 246 SP, the 206 SP, the 196 SP and the 166 P.
Introduced for the 1966 racing season, the Dino 206 S appeared to be a scaled down version of the revered 330P, even wearing similarly ravishing coachwork care of Piero Drogo’s Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. The visual appeal of Drogo’s aerodynamic body shell, which featured a combination of stressed alloy panels and fibreglass over a welded tubular semi-monocoque, was beautifully complemented by the Dino V-6’s fierce performance. By the end of the 1966 race season, the 206 S had proved its mettle, earning a 2nd place finish at the Targo Florio, 2nd and 3rd at the Nürburgring and a 6th place finish at Spa. Although the 206 S was originally slated for a homologation of 50 examples, labour problems prematurely interrupted production after only 18 cars had been assembled, and the model, therefore, remains a rare and important milestone in the arc of the Dino race car’s development, as well as a cornerstone of the Ferrari road cars that followed.
Excluding the Factory Works prototype, this beautifully restored 206 S is just the third example produced. This car was initially purchased on 23 April 1966, by Colonel Ronnie J. Hoare of Maranello Concessionaires Racing Team of Egham, Surrey, England, an authorised Ferrari dealer and racing concern originally founded by champion driver Mike Hawthorn. Finished in Ferrari Racing Red with the recognisable Maranello Concesionairs blue stripe, 006 made its competition début at the RAC Tourist Trophy in Oulton Park, England. Renowned British driver Michael Parkes was behind the wheel, with number 42. Unfortunately, the car had to retire early with final drive issues, but it still placed 21st OA.
The following June, 006 started 12th on the grid at the 1,000 Kilometres of Nürburgring, piloted by two of the most famous British drivers, Richard Attwood and David Piper. By lap 28, the car had advanced to 5th in class and 8th place overall before retiring early due to mechanical issues. These teething problems led to further refinement of 006, resulting in its best performance yet at the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, where Mr Parkes drove the car to 6th place overall and 1st in class.
In August 1967, Maranello Concessionaires sold this Dino 206 S to Gustaf Dieden, through Tore Bjurstrom, the official Ferrari concessionaire of Sweden. The correspondence between Colonel Hoare and Thomas Bjurstrom is very well documented, with letters on file from the Maranello Concessionaire archive. Hoare noted, “I am delighted to hear that you have decided to buy my Ferrari Dino 206/s 006”. After briefly campaigning the Ferrari on the Knutstorp circuit, Dieden competed in a total of six local races, five in Sweden and one in Denmark. After an off-road excursion at Knutstorp, the car was returned to the factory to be repaired, as the left front corner had been damaged.
Mr Dieden subsequently advertised the car in Road and Track, with the advert reading, “This fabulous sports racing car was built in Autumn 1966 but modified to works specification at Maranello works during the winter, 1967. Only raced five times by a novice, and it is in beautiful condition throughout. This car is absolutely race ready”. The car was bought by Hans Wangstre of Malmo, Sweden, who brought in driver Evert Christofferson as a co-owner. Under the name Team Bam-Bam, Mr Wangstre and Christofferson campaigned chassis 006 in numerous international venues over the following year, such as the Hockenheimring in Germany and the ADAC 1,000 Kilometres of Nürburgring. Highlights of this period include a 15th place finish at the Good Friday Meeting at Oulton Park on 12 April 1968 and a 22nd place finish at the Targa Florio on 5 May.
In 1969, chassis 006’s legendary Dino V-6 finally succumbed to the rigors of racing, a common problem that was due to the imbalance of the crank shaft. As an identical replacement block was deemed to be too expensive for a car that was increasingly dated from a competition standpoint, an experimental Volvo B20 engine was installed, and the car’s racing career effectively ended.
Together with the components of the original engine, the car was sold to the current owner in 1970, who had fallen in love with a Maranello Concessionaires Ferrari 206 S that he saw at Le Mans as a young man.
There are many photos on file of when the current owner acquired the car, and he stated, “Everybody thought I was mad to spend this much money on an old car”. The car then went into storage, during which time he searched high and low to acquire a correct-type replacement engine for the car. In 1974, he contacted the factory and to his delight, found out that one engine was left over in the Maranello works. However, at the time, the asking price was two and a half times the price of the newly introduced Ferrari 246 Dino GTS. After years of additional research, he decided, in 1988, to restore the car back to its former glory. After a couple years of consultancy with the Ferrari factory and Motor Service Modena, the vendor eventually managed to obtain a set of drawings for the specialised 206 S block. The plan was to cast a new series of four blocks, as he had, by this time, also acquired Ferrari Dino 206 S 016, which also had a cracked block. The blocks were cast at the factory foundry and machined to the correct specifications before the unit intended for chassis 006 was installed in the car.
A complete restoration of 006 continued for a number of years, including testing of the new engine, stripping of the original body down to bare metal and refinishing the car. It has remained in the owner’s collection ever since, rarely seen in public. After so many years of continuous ownership and research, he has become one of the world’s leading experts on the Dino 206 S model, and it is precisely this knowledge base that has ensured that every detail on 006 is correct and accurate.
For the past two years, the car has been mechanically restored by Tim Samways, the world renowned specialist in sports and racing cars, who has also prepared many other sports prototypes, including the Ferrari P3. The engine has been totally rebuilt, along with the gearbox, the chassis was restored and the bodywork has been perfected and polished. Most recently, the car has been returned to its original livery, as it was campaigned by Maranello Concessionaires at the 1966 1,000 km of Nürburgring, wearing the famous number 14.
Aside from this fabulous restoration, 006 benefits from a thorough file of documentation, including a full correspondence record from Colonel Hoare through the last forty years, as well as a Ferrari Classiche certification. The most remarkable thing, of course, is that the car has been in single ownership since 1970, with only four owners from new.
Chassis 006 has been refitted with a freshly cast engine block, of which the specification is absolutely correct, as per Ferrari Classiche. The car’s original block stamped “006” is included with the sale of the car. Exceedingly rare and beautifully restored, this unique Dino 206 S is a highly desirable testament to the beauty and power of Ferrari’s race cars and Piero Drogo’s breathtakingly sculpted coachwork. 006 will doubtlessly attract the interest of dedicated Ferrari collectors and marque experts seeking to supplement their collections with an unusual piece of the Maranello racing legend. This particular car has to be one of the only examples in existence that has not been heavily crashed. Coming from single ownership over the last 40 years, it is a fine example for any collector and could be used in competition work.
