Pirates of the Irish Sea exhibition
PIRATES OF THE IRISH SEA EXHIBITION EXTENDED
Andy Wint reports that The Pirates Of The Irish Sea exhibition at The House of Manannan in Peel, [Isle of Man] mentioned in recent editions of Contact [World DX Club bulletin], has now been extended from the end of March to the end of this Summer. The exact date has not been announced yet.
He comments; "I know many people from off-Island wanted to see it again and this should provide ample opportunity whilst the Steam Packet boats are running a summer timetable to UK, Eire and Ulster.
It will also mean that the many thousands of TT 2009 visitors will get the opportunity to absorb the 'Caroline North' experience and spread the word across the globe.
Matthew Richardson at Manx National Heritage continues to keep the Caroline North flame alight and is delighted that MNH is the only heritage organisation in the world to have an museum-standard archive on offshore radio. He and I are very happy to receive information enquiries and memories to add to the record."
