- 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.

This was from 1947. My father shot this film with Hartley Productions.
I'm old enough to remember these travelogues at the movies, you could stay all day, "continuous showing".
Everyone slim, and either pretty and handsome. My old gran's Ireland, and God rest you Katie Cosgrove.
That's the Ireland I would had liked to see.
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.
This is another great travelogue to the Emerald Island of Ireland
The historical beauty of Ireland the great architecture the beautiful countryside and the historyof the orange men against the Irish and thd classic movie the quiet man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara
Great hunting scenes!
The 'Darby O'Gill' actors are hilarious. Why didn't they interview indigenous Irish characters? God knows we had plenty of them.
I can't wait to visit Ireland.
I always wonder about past but I'm really shocked to see this much beautiful place in 50's. I wish I could go to there
Random Grandpa: "I pity the guys who live in the city."
Amen, brother. Amen.
This version features the Douglas DC-7C. Another version features the Lockheed Constellation.
3:00 the interviewer is an actor I have seen in Anglo-Irish films of the era.
It has to be 1948 or before because it shows the old trams in Dublin. The last of which ran in 1948.
it's just american bullshit ... take it for what it's worth.
Wider space between the seat rows but not fold up tables. A pillow on the lap is better anyway with the tray on top.
Note:no comment on food or Guinness!
That boy at 1:31 looks like a young Kennedy.
looks like the guy from bewitched.... TV Show
I wonder what that trip would have cost now adjusted for inflation
the Quiet man locations in Kong
no overhead bins anywhere
11:49 why does the narrator look like his face is another guy's face grafted on top of it
I Don't Mean To Be Morbid, But Didn't A Lot Of Planes Crash in The 50's Due To some Mechanical Failure Like The Engines Malfunctioning 🤔
even the Connie ... the schedules could not allow the real maintenance the engines needed.
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.
Unfortunately
We would have prospered if we stayed pagan.
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.
Good old days! Kissing Blarney Stone! No woke health and safety 😂
Thank goodness people don’t speak like that anymore.
Why?
I think I saw my motherin the Croke Park clip. It was before I was born.
