 Hey everyone, Adam Shaw here from Brevura Media Company. Today we have another vintage map, you guys. It is a map of Dublin, Ireland that was originally produced in 1836. We're doing a video on this map because it's in connection with a series we're doing on our channel, Irish History in Tribute, to the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday. So we're going to be doing other map videos. We did a Boston map, we're going to be doing Ireland maps, we're going to be doing a United States Irish Immigration map, we're even going to be doing a beer drinking video, we're going to be testing out different beers on St. Patrick's Day. So I mean, we like to have a lot of fun, we like to talk about history, we like to look at maps, and we like to drink some beer. So definitely subscribe to our channel. We upload very often and we just like to have fun. So without further ado, we're going to dive into this map and the different elements that are within this map, but we're going to give also a brief history of Dublin, Ireland. To start, Dublin was originally founded as a Viking settlement in the 10th century, largely because it was kind of the center hub of a great Norman invasion in Ireland. Dublin, the word comes from the Gaelic word, Dublin, D-U-B-L-I-N-N, referring to a black dark pool, also known as many in the area, a dark tidal pool that was kind of linked to the river leafy. And we're going to actually go into this dark tidal pool because it's actually located behind Dublin Castle in the rear section. We're going to go more in depth into that on the map, but moving on, Dublin, despite a number of native Irish uprisings, remained in Viking control for a good amount of time up until 1169, for which Ravade Riva, Concobert of Conac, actually took Dublin away and was declared King of Ireland. So he was a Gaelic king. Then some time later, after the first Lord Mayor of Dublin's appointment in 1229, the city's population started to grow to about 8,000 people by the end of the 13th century. Dublin in this time really, really prospered well because it became a trade hub. This was even during a time where Robert I of Scotland tried to capture the city in 1317. The city still prospered economically even during that. So I thought that was kind of interesting. The population eventually reached to 21,000 by 1640, but soon after 1640, a plague, which happened from 1649 to 51, would ravage and take about half the population. So they grew to about 21,000, then the plague hit and boom, I mean back down to 10. So pretty devastating. The city though would resurge back up to 50,000 people due to the prosperous wool and linen trade. So economically, I mean they were located on the coast, a very, very unique location, very conducive to trade. By the 18th century, Dublin became the second largest city of the British Empire and the fifth largest in Europe. Dublin grew exponentially during the 18th century with the construction of many new districts and buildings such as Marion Square, Parliament House, and the Royal Exchange. In 1759, the founding of the Guinness Brewery contributed to immense economic growth. We all love beer. The brewery since then has really contributed to a large cohort of the economic, I guess you could say prosperity that has happened up to this day. So I mean really the economic prosperity has happened since 1759 has gone on because of that brewery. So I thought that was kind of cool too, we mentioned that. So just a few historical facts I found interesting about the city of Dublin. Let's dive in, let's zoom in and kind of explore and examine this map. We talked about that castle, Dublin Castle, and we talked about the garden. So apparently from what I read through my research, there was a dark tidal pole. We can see how close the castle is to the life-y, God I hope I'm pronouncing that right, life-y river, it's pretty dang close. So they're saying behind the garden to the rear of the castle that there is a dark tidal pole so there must have been a waterway right to the back of right here. So but I love this map, I mean so many locations are labeled, we've got Trinity College drawn right here and we get all the street names that are strewn across Dame Street. We even got Castle Market right towards the rear of the castle, the garden right over there. We've got a lot of churches labeled, I noticed that, I noticed a lot of hospitals labeled as well. Here's another market, Ormond Market on the other side of the life-y, here's a post office, here I saw Richmond Penitentiary towards the outskirts of the city, I thought that was pretty cool, that that was labeled, Rutland Square is not named Rutland Square, I did a search online for Rutland Square and I think it was Rotunda Square is what they're calling it now and here's Royal Square, I think you can see lots of different areas labeled, let me see if I can, are Nartillery Barracks, this is pretty cool. I do a lot of metal detecting videos in other videos, if you went around the Lifey River towards this section very close to, I guess Bell Lane, what is this, Kilmanheim Lane and you went a little bit towards the Lifey River, I mean if you took a metal detector around this area you're going to find something, I'm sure of it, so I thought that was kind of cool that Artillery Barracks was located right there, there's a burial ground very close to the St. John's well, we've got a jail, I don't know if I can zoom in, here's a jail over to that end, City Basins, I mean it's just amazing how much information is just crammed into it, St. Patrick's Cathedral, we're talking about the good old St. Patrick, here's this cathedral right here and I thought this was cool, just another cool element that they had on this map that you haven't seen yet, remember we talked about, I told you there was a lot of hospitals on this map, here's one of the hospitals right over here, look at the illustrations, we get a ground level, this is an 1836 map, yet they give us a ground view of the illustrations of the various buildings, isn't this, this is wonderful, wonderful, Bank of Ireland, that's what it looked like, we got the Custom House, the Royal Exchange, remember we talked about one of the buildings that really, really got the trade, trade was going and we were talking about the Royal Exchange really had a large economic impact on the growth of Dublin, St. Patrick's Church, I love these maps, God I love these maps, here's another Penitentiary, you're noticing that they're putting the Penitentiaries on the outskirts of the city, they're not putting them anywhere near the middle of the city, so here's another hospital, Sir Patrick Dunn's Hospital, so pretty cool, just really amazing, oh look a railroad, we've got a railroad right here, see this, Kingstown Railroad, that's so cool, I haven't noticed that before, when you look at these maps, I mean there's just so much information on here that you miss little things and you just, it's like discovering, it's like discovery or just finding new things, I really do like that a lot, so pretty cool map that we have, I mean I'm just always blown away by this, remember we talked about the prisons on the outskirts again, so it's pretty cool, here's a female orphan house, there's a female orphan house on Circular Road on the outskirts of Dublin, oh look at this, a Dublin female Penitentiary on Florinda Place, you know I'm gonna probably, if you stick with me, subscribe to our channel because you know, I'm gonna, you know what, we're actually gonna look into the history of these buildings on these various streets, definitely give us a subscribe, because I'm gonna go more depth into this, I think, there's just so much information on it, I could go on, here's another castle, apparently there was another castle on Sheriff Street, there's a bath house on Street, Mayor Street, here's a lighthouse, so we get the ocean right here, bottle works very close to the ocean, obviously they had to use sand to make the bottles, they had to heat sand up and make these bottles, look how close it was to the ocean, god this is just, this is amazing, there's a lighthouse right here, yeah definitely subscribe to us, I hope you've enjoyed this video, I mean I could go on and on about the various locations and we will, we're probably gonna do another video based on specifics of the buildings, so definitely subscribe to us and like this video, share this video if you found this video informative and you really like this, definitely give us a subscription, also check out some of our other St. Patrick's Day series themed videos on history, we're gonna be uploading several videos throughout this week, stay tuned for the beer, the beer tasting video and I will see you guys soon, everyone take care, all right, bye now.
