Above is a dramatic panoramic pencil drawing of “Cork Harbour from Old Monkstown Road” dated 1849. It appears to have been drawn from somewhere around where Fairy Hill meets Scotsman’s Road. The fact that it refers to the Old Monkstown Road would suggest that the new road between Glenbrook and Monkstown along the river, had already been constructed.  The buildings in the foreground would be De Vesci Terrace where the sailing club is now based. The steeple of St John’s and the Castle would be slightly around to the right.

Although there is a lot of artistic licence in the height and contours of some places, we can still clearly identify Black Point in the almost centre of the drawing. Also, the Martello Tower on Haulbowline is clearly visible as well as Rocky Island. Spike island is a lot higher than in reality, but the shape of the fort is quite correct. Fort’s Camden and Carlisle can clearly be seen protecting the harbour. And plenty of sailing ships at anchor in Monkstown Bay as well as in the outer  harbour. I wonder would the artist recognise the place today? It is unclear who the artist is, but the style and pencil drawing suggest it could be R.L Stopford who lived at De Vesci Terrace.
