Entrance to Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man

A dense cluster of the inhabitants crowded on the pier head, as is the daily custom among the town's people, to greet the arrival of the Mona's Isle'. Agents from the Inns stand like a swarm of horse-flies, each holding the respective cards of the establishment obstinately under [the visitor's] nose' (Sir George Head, A Home Tour through Various Parts of the United Kingdom, 1837, M 02445)
