Made in the late 1940s or early 1950s, this Pan Am travelogue takes the viewer on a journey to Ireland aboard the DC-6B Clipper Mermaid. The film begins with landing at Shannon Airport, and from there begins a storybook-like trip through villages and the countryside to Cork, Tipperary, the Blarney Stone, Tipperary, the Trinity Library, and Dublin.

Everyone slim, and either pretty and handsome. My old gran's Ireland, and God rest you Katie Cosgrove.

Thanks so much for this (and having read your reply to Greg Bloomfield, below, I very much appreciate the work you're doing in preserving and making available these wonderful films that might otherwise be lost). Like MerleOberon (see below), I'm old enough to remember seeing these travel shorts in movie theaters. And this is by no means meant as any kind of criticism, but it looks as if we're seeing four different planes here (and perhaps a studio mock-up of the Constellation): three DC-6Bs and one Constellation. Per the Pan Am Historical Foundation, the three DC-6Bs were the Clipper Fidelity, Clipper Carib, and Clipper Mercury: all were in service with Pan American between 1952-1961. Again, my thanks: it brings back a lot of memories.

The 'Darby O'Gill' actors are hilarious. Why didn't they interview indigenous Irish characters? God knows we had plenty of them.

This version features the Douglas DC-7C. Another version features the Lockheed Constellation.

Wider space between the seat rows but not fold up tables. A pillow on the lap is better anyway with the tray on top.

It has to be 1948 or before because it shows the old trams in Dublin. The last of which ran in 1948.

15:10 St Patrick was a Roman Britain who was originally kidnapped as a slave to Ireland by the pagan Irish and after he escaped he came back from Britain to Ireland as a Papist priest to make them followers of the Church of Rome.

Not Papist, Catholic, and the early Irish Church had quite a few issues with Rome. The English started ruining things first by imposing their clergy on top of native Irish clergy and later they got more and more dominant until they took all in Ireland with little regards for the Irish.

The Irish Christian Church existed before The Roman Patrick arrived, they followed Solas Scriptura, the Bible alone guided them and the original 10 commandments were the law, for example Sunday was not the Sabbath, Saturday the Seventh day was observed instead, the entry of the Roman church into Ireland was the end of Christian Ireland.

-@@120wphwavesperhour4- Agree, as religion is the "opium of the masses" as a 19th century communist once said.
