On the Liffey river a Guinness Barge approaches, making its way upriver to the nearby Guinness Brewery at St James's Gate. |

Until the late 1950's the barges were used extensively on Ireland's waterways to transport Guinness barrels. Their funnels were hinged, enabling them to be lowered when travelling under Liffey river bridges at high tides.
