This photograph showcases the historic Laxey Wheel, a 19th-century engineering marvel located on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea. Known as the 'Lady Isabella' or the 'Great Laxey Water Wheel,' this colossal structure was built between 1854 and 1860 to pump water from the nearby Maughold Hills to the village of Laxey. The wheel stands at an impressive height of 72 feet (22 meters) and boasts a diameter of 25 feet (7.6 meters). It is the largest working water wheel in the world and was designed by Robert Casement and Sons. The wheel consists of 17 wooden buckets, each with a capacity of 200 gallons (909 liters), which are filled with water from the nearby Laxey River as it flows through the wheel's channels. As the water flows into the buckets, it turns the wheel, which in turn raises water to the reservoir located on the hillside. This innovative technology was crucial for the development of the Isle of Man's industrial sector, providing essential water for the growing population and industries in the region. The Laxey Wheel is not only a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the 19th century but also a significant piece of Isle of Man's rich history. Today, it remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who are fascinated by its size, historical significance, and the intricate workings of this remarkable water wheel.
