Wicklow Harbour on the east coast of Ireland had an unusual visitor this week with the arrival of the Danish platform ship Wind from Wales.
The 55m long and 18m wide ship that is heavily involved in the offshore wind industry only visited the south quay at Wicklow for 24 hours or so but made an immediate impression with her unusual platform rig.
Wind has since returned to the other side of the Irish Sea and is currently berthed in Liverpool.
