National Maritime Museum of Ireland Lecture
We'd gone into one of what seemed an endless stream of lockdowns and I'd decided to start a PhD where all the archive documents and sites of interest that would help my studies were in a country I couldn't visit.
I had hoped to give this lecture at The National Maritime Museum of Ireland and am still grateful for them asking me but, due to Covid, I sat in my study and after three powercuts, hoped for the best that I could connect with my audience...

If you are visiting Dun Laoghaire, the National Maritime Museum of Ireland is a fantastic visit.

One of the goals of my PhD was to collate as much information about SS Isolda and her crew and to share that information with descendant families.
To date, I have had enquiries from all over the world and it's always great to hear from family members. Very often, it's an exchange of information and pictures and I am always learning too.
