Worth seeing is the building of the former harbor master's office on the site of the old port of Dublin with George's Dock, the old lock and a cargo crane.

The Emigration Museum stands on the remains of one of the warehouses next to the former harbor basin.

The Harbourmaster and George's Dock in Dublin hold a special place in the city's maritime history. George's Dock, one of the first dock basins to be constructed in Dublin, was originally built in the early 19th century. The dock was named after King George III.

The Harbourmaster's role was vital in managing the comings and goings of ships, ensuring they were safely loaded and unloaded, and maintaining order in the bustling port. The Harbourmaster was also responsible for collecting fees from the various ships and cargoes that passed through the port.

Over time, Dublin's docks became a hub of trade and commerce, with ships from all over the world arriving to exchange goods. The docks played a significant role in shaping the city's economy and connecting it with the wider world.

Today, George's Dock is a reminder of Dublin's maritime heritage, and the area has been redeveloped into a vibrant part of the city. The Harbourmaster's role might have evolved, but the legacy of its importance in Dublin's maritime history remains intact. It's a place where the past and present merge, and visitors can appreciate the city's rich maritime traditions while enjoying modern amenities and attractions.
