Irish Times 24 October 1933 Colonel C. A. Lindbergh, accompanied by his wife, made a dramatic landing in Galway Harbour this afternoon. The intrepid airman, flying a seven hundred and fifty horsepower single-engined Wright Cyclone seaplane, left Southampton water at 11:15a.m., flew direct to Queenstown and Cork, circled over Valentia, and without landing anywhere in the South of Ireland came north along the coast of Galway. With fair visibility and a slight mist the Colonel's seaplane hovered over Galway about 4:45 p.m. After doing one circle over the city Colonel Lindbergh brought his seaplane to rest just outside Nimo's Pier, within four hundred yards from the Galway docks. Hundreds of citizens, who had apparently expected the visit, immediately rushed to the docks.
