Product Description
At the age of eighteen, William T Mulvany assisted in the first ordnance survey of Ulster and Connaught. He later supervised the drainage of the Shannon, and then planned the Shannon-Erne waterway. During the Famine, he directed thousands of workers in relief schemes. Then he set his sights on Prussia, leading the first and only Irish venture capital investment in the Rhineland, setting up 3 coal-mines in the Hibernia, Shamrock and Erin coalfields. The Kaiser awarded him a gold medal for his services to the Prussian economy. Four cities in the Ruhr have streets named after him. He laid out the first steeplechase course in Germany.
