The Atlantic Ocean
The link between the USA and our island, Ireland. The Atlantic is the sea which our ancestors crossed over the centuries to find fame and fortune, to escape famine and oppressive landlords and in many cases even to this day the harsh graveyard of so many.
The image is from one of a series of river gods commissioned by the famous architect James Gandon (1743-1823) from Edward Smyth, a virtually unknown stonemason who worked on them from 1780 to their completion in 1786, for the Custom House in Dublin.
The �heads of the river� were 14 in number and were called after 14 different rivers in Ireland. The Liffey is the only female of the 14. The sculptures can be seen to this day on the outside of the building, over 200 years later.
