Londonderry, Northern Ireland

The local Irish residents lovingly refer to their city of Londonderry as "Derry." This city of more than 70,000 lies tucked into a protective harbor dug deep into the coast which crowns this massive island's great landmass. Cold waters wash into its Lough Foyle from the mighty Atlantic bringing with them many ships. Derry is a very important port city, and is Northern Ireland's second largest.
