Olympic Harbour

@ 2008-02-28 08:08:29
The yachting competition of the
Barcelona'92 Olympic Games was held in
the waters off the Olympic Harbour. The
new harbour was planned to be the base
for the holding of the Olympic regattas
and to be a determining factor in the
opening up of the city to the sea. To
achieve this, it was necessary to modify
the Special Town Plan for the Parc de
Mar Area and to design a harbour which,
on the one hand, would satisfy the
requirements of the International Yacht
Racing Union (IYRU) and COOB'92,
and on the other would be suitable for use
as a marina after the Games. The new
Olympic Harbour was first put to the test
on 26 July to 9 August 1991, when the II
Ciutat de Barcelona international
yachting week was held as part of
Competitions'91.]]> Olympic Harbour

There is a most remarkable cathedral, St. Pierre, opposite the Town Hall, dating from the fifteenth century, which it is said suffered severely in a great gale in 1604, which blew down its spire and many of its statues. It has never been restored, and its huge doorways, its high exterior balconies, its narrow pierced windows, evidently for bowmen, all render it in appearance a vast mediæval fortress, which it undoubtedly was. Its interior is as remarkable, and contains many altars, statues, tombs, and in its nine chapels are great paintings, notably one by Dierick Bouts, "The Martyrdom of St. Erasmus."]]> St. Pierre Cathedral

The secret was it had a short wooden pier with a boat alongside it - no water anywhere to be seen. It started off as a joke between here and a town by the sea (the only difference being one town had a pier); so Wirulla decided to build a pier of it's own. It also had a painted toilet block called 'The Thunderdome' - we were to come across more of these in other towns; with different names. Wirulla also had a pub, shop and two giant wheat silos - the silos being a common feature of towns in this wheatbelt area. The road sign pointing down a dusty road into the distance also amused us - it said 'Coober Pedy 590kms' - there are huge distances here. Poochera was a similar size place with a Roadhouse; Camping ground and two giant silos. Another cool evening as we stood in the phone box phoning our daughter; who wouldn't believe us that it was cold stood talking to her. We have had some huge variance in temperatures.]]> Waiting for the Tide; A Town with a Secret

The landward end of the pier and the pier head are now separated by a half-mile stretch of water, two gaps having been cut by the Army as a counter-invasion measure at the beginning of World War II. Bridges to the seaward end were restored after the war, but the centre sectiion was torn down by a powerful storm in 1978,and has not been rebuilt since.

Forth Ports plc is one of the largest port operators in the United Kingdom. It is based in Edinburgh in Scotland, which is situated on the Firth of Forth. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

Leith is the largest enclosed deepwater port in Scotland and has the capability to handle handymax ships up to 50,000 DWT. The port offers a full stevedoring and cargo handling service. It is well equipped with modern cranes and equipment and storage is available in modern, secure, single span transit sheds or in surfaced open compounds. The port is well served by road and rail links. Access and egress to the main working area of the port is through a security checkpoint providing 24 hour coverage where passes are issued and documentation checked to ensure the large amount of goods moving through this area is properly controlled. A computerised stock keeping system is in place for all commodities that allows customers fast access to updated stock reports. The port offers excellent rail and road connections and Central Edinburgh is easily accessible.

Leith has been a port since at least the 12th century and although conscious of its history, the port today is a modern, vibrant maritime getaway.]]> 'Forth Ports'
