About Annaghdown Pier
Annaghdown Pier was built of rough limestone around 1875 and flared at its lake end so that boats could lie alongside; it is one of a chain of piers that served the Corrib's fishermen and carried its goods. With Steamers Quay in Galway, it is one of the two easiest ways onto the lower lake. Ashore, the ruins of Annaghdown, a National Monument, include an Augustinian abbey founded around 1140 and a 15th-century cathedral, and the O'Flaherty tower house of Annaghdown Castle, since restored, stands on the shore. A memorial stone put up at the pier in 1978 remembers the boat that sank on 4 September 1828 with the loss of about 20 lives, the tragedy the blind poet Raftery lamented in 'Eanach Dhúin'. The OPW also reads the lower lake's level at the pier.
