Cormac Louth’s lecture last Tuesday, entitled “The History of Lifeboats in Dublin Bay”, was a great success! Cormac recounted some of the history of the heroic rescues carried by the lifeboats since their amalgamation into the RNLI in 1862.

Something to look forward to: marine author, Cormac Lowth will present a lecture entitled “A History of Lifeboats in Dublin Bay” here at the Maritime Museum on 12th March at 1:30pm.

This is an “early bird” on the Kerlogue exhibition, which will open at the Maritime Museum in late May. This will commemorate unparalleled heroism when the crew of the Wexford vessel rescued 168 German sailors from Biscay in late December 1943. We will keep you informed.

This is to wish all our friends and supporters a very pleasant and healthy 2024. As always your help and support is much appreciated.

A gentle reminder: it is time for membership renewal. Full details are on our website

Very best wishes,
Joe Varley
President
