St Joseph’s Church, a Grade 2 listed building built in the 1870s, was known as the Chapel on the Quay, with its spire often the first and last sight of home for generations of seamen. Located on Princes Dock Street, the chapel was closed in 2001, and has recently been awarded funding to allow it to showcase its rich Maritime Heritage through photographs, stories, film and exhibitions. The surrounding residential area of Sailortown was once home to thousands of dock workers and their families, and following redevelopment work, St Joseph’s is one of the few remaining heritage sites.
