  • Maritime Conference 2019 Appendix 1 , Item BC61/18 PDF 536 KB
    WINDOWS ON OUR PAST, SIGNPOSTS FOR OUR FUTURE The maritime history of the River Foyle, the port and city of Derry/Londonderry Dr. Billy Kelly Dr. Éamonn Ó Ciardha 1 WINDOWS ON OUR PAST, SIGNPOSTS FOR OUR FUTURE DeRRy LonDonDeRRy anD The AtlanTiC WoRLD: PasT, PResenT anD FuTuRe – septemBeR 2019 The maritime history and economic future of the river Foyle, its port and city. Derry/Londonderry has a long relationship with the sea, from the Broighter hoard (100BC) to the Cold War (1950s). Colmcille, the Vikings, the anglo-normans, the spanish armada; the nine year’s War and Plantation, three sieges, immigration, emigration, industrialisation, two World Wars and a Cold War have etched themselves into the city’s history and heritage. This unrivalled maritime history has a central role in the regeneration of the city through trade and tourism. Conference aims/objectives: attract leading scholars and stakeholders to examine what lessons can be learned from the history of the river and port and discuss how the economic future of the city can benefit from the river and port. Themes: – The Foyle’s fluvial and maritime history – The heritage of Derry, its role in the irish, British and atlantic, its long-established position as a key strategic port, and its unique status as the oldest, continually inhabited city on this island – The port and river’s future in the re-generation and re-development of Derry and the north-west Conference Proceedings: The proceedings can be sold in the new museum or presented as a corporate gift to visiting dignitaries will serve as a mission statement for future academic and cultural development.

Why is government intervention necessary? The terrorist incidents in the US (2001), Madrid (2004) and London (2005) highlighted the vulnerability of, and threat to, transport systems world-wide. The UK port industry is an important part of the UK economy, and essential node between transportation modes. Therefore a security incident involving the maritime transport system may have impacts falling beyond the immediate risks and consequences faced by port owners, such as the cost of human injury. As such effects are unlikely to be faced directly by port owners they may under invest in security measures. Government intervention by way of implementation of Directive 2005/65/EC is therefore required to ensure a consistent, proportionate port security regime across the UK. What are the policy objectives and the intended effects? Policy objective is to enhance security at the Port of Londonderry to complement measures to help prevent maritime terrorist incidents.

  • William Mitchell Collection
    Reference Code: Mss.26 Title: William Mitchell Collection Creation Date: c.1870-1970 Level of description: Item level Extent and Medium: 2 boxes, 35 items Creator: Mitchell family Scope and content: William Mitchell and the Foyle Line By 1890 only on the great ocean routes could large steel sailing ships, run with small crews, operate profitably against steam competition. William Mitchell, who had been importing flour and grain from the USA and distributing it throughout Ireland since 1870, identified the scope for sailing vessels engaged in world trading. In 1890 he formed the Foyle Line, which by 1893 consisted of a fleet of five large steel-hulled sailing ships, four of which were built in Derry in Charles J Bigger’s Foyle Shipyard. These ships, such as the 2,035-ton William Mitchell, were seldom seen in the home port. Sailings to Australia and then across the Pacific to the west coast of South America, with coal, and returning around Cape Horn, with nitrate, were the last remaining trade routes profitable for sailing ships. The death of William Mitchell in 1902 marked the end of the Foyle Line, as his fleet was sold off. In The Industries of Ireland Part 1 Belfast and Towns of the North (published by National Publishing Company, London, 1891) William Mitchell was described as Flour Importer, Grain Merchant and Shipowner of Commercial Buildings, Londonderry. He acted as agent for the largest shippers of grain from the United States – Messrs. Gill and Fisher of Baltimore and Philadelphia. His impressive three-storey warehouse on Foyle Street, topped with a sculpture in Portland stone representing ‘Commerce’, built in 1883, is evidence today of William Mitchell’s enterprise.

  • East Inishowen Sea Kayak Trail Guide
    • Kinnagoe Bay East Inishowen Sea Kayak Trail plus tidal waters of rivers Roe and Foyle ... paddle by sandy beaches and cliffs, push around headlands, kayak in the shadow of rocky stacks and through caves! Follow us on Facebook Loughs Agency - Foyle LINKS WITH OTHER TRAILS The Foyle Canoe Trail runs from Lifford to Moville with the section from Culmore Point overlapping part of the Inishowen Trail. Stretching over 22 nautical miles from the start of the River Foyle, this unique trail runs along the tidal river, passing through historic Derry city before following Lough Foyle’s varied coastline to the seaside town of Moville. From the northern end of Lough Foyle, seasoned kayakers can link up with the North Coast Sea Kayak Trail, which begins at Magilligan Point only 1.2 km across the Narrows at Greencastle - plan the crossing carefully, taking into account currents and wind, passage of commercial shipping and fishing boat operations! WILDLIFE The screeches and calls of cliff nesting • Seals on Inishtrahull bird colonies dominate the soundtrack of this rugged coastline. Fulmar and manx shearwater elegantly skim the surface of the water,‘shearing’ from side to side as they rhythmically alternate white under parts and dark upper body. Diving terns and soaring gannets (from Ailsa Craig in western Scotland) indicate shoals of fish near the surface. Keep a special eye out for the white rumped storm petrel, a dainty ocean wanderer, who patters along the wave tops in summer, flying ashore on dark nights to their island nest in some stony crevice. Peregrine and buzzard are cliff top predators with the added excitement of regular eagle sightings in recent years.

Conclusion Page 94 7. Appendix - Information about POP Launch & Consultation Page 97 2 Preferred Options Paper: Interim Representations Report 1.1 The Local Development Plan (LDP) The purpose of the Local Development Plan (LDP) is to inform the general public, statutory authorities, developers and other interested parties of the policy framework and land use proposals that will guide development decisions within the District. The LDP is expected to apply regional policies at the appropriate local level and it will set out a clear vision of how the District should look in the future, by indicating what type and scale of development should be encouraged and where it should be located. The Plan’s land-use zonings, designations and Planning policies will ensure that lands are sustainably zoned, development is managed and that infrastructure is co-ordinated to develop the District for future generations. 1.2 When adopted, the Council’s LDP for the District will replace the current Derry Area Plan 2011 (adopted May 2000) and the Strabane Area Plan 2001 (adopted April 1991), both of which were produced by the Department of the Environment (DOE). The new LDP will also replace most existing regional planning policies. The LDP will comprise of two development plan documents: The Plan Strategy (PS); and The Local Policies Plan (LPP) Our LDP is being prepared within the context of the Council’s Community Plan (the Strategic Growth Plan, SGP) and the wider policy hierarchy and context operating at international, national and regional levels.
