A view of the eastern part of the Harbour of Dun Laoghaire, from the East Pier. In view from left to right are: The bandstand, the Mariner’s Church (1837), The National Yacht Club, The Royal Marine Hotel, a paddle steamer, a screw-propeller stem ship at Carlisle Pier. St. Michael’s Church with scaffolding, the Town Hall (1880). In the foreground are two women, one with a bicycle. At the turn of the century a practice of cycling furiously down the West Pier, across the harbour, known as 'scorching' caused such annoyance it had to be prohibited.
