The Bulletin  

MAKING TOO MUCH OF MOTHER  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 74—No. 3850  

Wednesday, November 25, 1953  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney. N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper  

Seppelts  

THE two finest castles in Northern  

Ireland are both in County Antrim  

and both stand by the sea —Dunluce and  

Carrickfergus. The latter rises from  

spur of rock in Belfast Lough, ten miles  

from the capital city. Its name meaning  

“The Rock of Fergus” recalls king  

of that name who was shipwrecked oil  

the Antrim coast about a.d. 320.  

Carrickfergus was the first castle of its  

kind to be established in Northern Ireland  

and its builder is believed to have been  

Hugh de Lacy, Had of Ulster. It was  

begun between the years 1180 and 1205  

and until few years ago it had the dis-  

tinction of being the only stronghold of  

its kind to be continuously occupied since  

its erection; it was never without its  

military garrison.  

As the chief centre of Anglo-Norman  

power in Ulster, Carrickfergus was  

fortress of outstanding importance which  

was shared by the town which grew up  

near its walls. By 1669 the Town of  

Carrickfergus had 815 buildings and 3500  

inhabitants whereas Belfast had only 150  

buildings and was therefore only village  

in comparison. Even before the arrival  

of the Anglo-Normans, however, Carrick-  

fergus was place of some note owing to  

its sheltered harbour.  

The great square Keep, surrounded by  

its massive walls, nine feet thick and  

rising to height of 90 feet, are still in  

good state of preservation. The ground  

floor served as magazine and above it  

the spacious room on the third floor is  

known as “Fergus’s Dining Room.” The  

double-towered western gateway is an  

addition of the thirteenth century, and it  

possesses portcullis which can still be  

worked. Originally the fortress was  

protected on its landward side by moat  

and drawbridge, both of which have since  

disappeared.  

Carrickfergus was besieged many times  

during its long and stormy history. In  

1210 the castle was attacked by King  

John and in 1315 it was taken after  

great struggle by Edward Bruce, aided by  

King Robert of Scotland. Later it re-  

verted to the English and in 1689 it was  

captured by General Schomberg for  

William of Orange, The following year  

King William landed at Carrickfergus and  

the spot where he first set foot in Ireland  

is commemorated today by tablet.  

It was within sight of Carrickfergus  

Castle, in the waters of Belfast Lough,  

that Paul Jones (1778), founder of the  

American Navy, ran up the American  

flag in his ship the Ranger and after  

raking broadside put H.M.S. Drake out  

of action.  

CARRICKFERGUS, FAMOUS OLD ULSTER FORTRESS
