HOWTH

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 840 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOWTH [pronounced Hothl, a seaside town of Co. Dublin, Ireland, on the rocky hill of Howth, which forms the northern horn of Dublin Bay, 9 M. N.E. by N. of Dublin by the
Great
  Northern railway. Pop. (1901) 1166. It is frequented by the residents of the
capital
  as a watering-place. The artificial harbour was formed (18071832) between the mainland and the picturesque
island
  of Ireland's Eye, and preceded Kingstown as the station for the mail-packets from
Great
  Britain, but was found after its construction to be liable to silt, and is now chiefly used by fishing-boats and yachts. The collegiate church,
standing
  picturesquely on a cliff above the sea, was founded about 1235, and has a monastic building attached to it. The embattled castle contains the two-handed sword of Sir Almeric Tristram, the Anglo-Norman conqueror of the hill of Howth; and a portrait of Dean Swift holding one of the Drapier letters, with
Wood
 , the coiner against whom he directed these attack, prostrate before him. The view of Dublin Bay from the hill of Howth is of great beauty. Howth is connected with the
capital
  by electric tramway, besides the railway, and another tramway encircles the hill.
